How does it summarize the findings?

It provides a structured report grouping changes by their status (Staged, Modified, Untracked) and lists unpushed commits by their hash and commit message.

Does this skill perform git push or commit actions?

No, this skill is strictly read-only. it is designed to report on the status of your repository without ever modifying your files or remote history.

What if my branch doesn't have a remote upstream set?

The skill is designed to handle this gracefully; it will notify you that the branch has no remote tracking configured rather than returning an error.

Can it see files that haven't been added to Git yet?

Yes, the skill uses the porcelain status command to identify and report on untracked files as well as staged and modified ones.

Developer Tools

Monitors Git repositories for uncommitted changes and unpushed commits to maintain repository hygiene and synchronization.

The Git Status Checker skill provides Claude with the ability to perform a non-destructive audit of any local Git repository. It scans for staged, modified, and untracked files while identifying local commits that have not yet been pushed to an upstream branch. This is an essential utility for developers who need to verify their workspace status before switching branches, starting new tasks, or concluding a work session, ensuring that no code changes are left behind or forgotten in a local state.
