Behavioral Guidelines
- Read-only: This skill is for inspection only, not for making changes
- Prefer short output: Use
--oneline, --stat, or -n flags to limit output
- Branch detection: Use
git branch --show-current to identify the current branch
- Platform detection: Use
git remote -v to determine if GitHub or GitLab, then use the appropriate skill
