test: Adding tests
chore: Maintenance

How It Works

  1. Reads your staged diff (or branch diff for PRs)
  2. Analyzes what changed — files, functions, intent
  3. Generates a message that describes the why, not just the what
  4. Follows your configured convention

No external API calls. Uses your local or configured AI model.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it runs local git commands to produce commit messages, PR summaries, changelogs, and branch-name suggestions and does not contact external services or ask for credentials. Notes before installing/using: (1) The marketing claims 'AI-powered' but the code is rule-based — expect heuristic outputs rather than calls to an LLM. (2) The tool executes git in whatever working directory you run it from; run it in a safe repository and avoid staging secrets you don't want processed. (3) Review the included src/git-assist.js yourself if you have concerns; ensure the behavior matches your expectations before using it in CI or automated workflows. (4) Verify the author/contact channels if provenance matters.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: git-assist Version: 1.0.0 The GitAssist skill is a utility for automating Git workflows, such as generating commit messages and PR descriptions by analyzing local diffs. The implementation in `src/git-assist.js` uses `child_process.execSync` to interact with the local git binary, but it includes a `validateRef` function with a strict regex (`/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_.-]+$/`) to mitigate shell injection vulnerabilities. No network calls, data exfiltration logic, or malicious instructions were found in the code or the `SKILL.md` file.
Capability Assessment
ℹ Purpose & Capability
The name/description (generate commit messages, PR descriptions, changelogs, branch names) matches the included code which runs git commands and synthesizes outputs. Minor mismatch: SKILL.md and README claim 'No external API calls. Uses your local or configured AI model' / 'AI-Powered', but the shipped src/git-assist.js contains deterministic heuristics and does not call any AI model or external service.
✓ Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and code stay within the stated scope: they read staged diffs, branch/log/diff data from the repository and produce messages. There are no instructions to read unrelated system files or to transmit data externally.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill plus a source file). Nothing is downloaded or written by an installer; risk from installation mechanism is low.
✓ Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The code uses child_process to call git but does not require additional secrets or external service access.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and is user-invocable. It does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings and does not request persistent privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install git-assist
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /git-assist
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
