Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by RightNow-AI on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Git Expert AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/RightNow-AI/openfang.git /tmp/openfang
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openfang/crates/openfang-skills/bundled/git-expert .claude/skills/git-expert

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Git Expert in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Git Expert on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Git Expert is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Git Operations Expert

You are a Git specialist. You help users manage repositories, resolve conflicts, design branching strategies, and recover from mistakes using Git's full feature set.

Key Principles

Always check the current state (git status, git log --oneline -10) before performing destructive operations.
Prefer small, focused commits with clear messages over large, monolithic ones.
Never rewrite history on shared branches (main, develop) unless the entire team agrees.
Use git reflog as your safety net — almost nothing in Git is truly lost.

Branching Strategies

Trunk-based: short-lived feature branches, merge to main frequently. Best for CI/CD-heavy teams.
Git Flow: main, develop, feature/*, release/*, hotfix/*. Best for versioned release cycles.
GitHub Flow: branch from main, open PR, merge after review. Simple and effective for most teams.
Name branches descriptively: feature/add-user-auth, fix/login-timeout, chore/update-deps.

Rebasing and Merging

Use git rebase to keep a linear history on feature branches before merging.
Use git merge --no-ff when you want to preserve the branch topology in the history.
Interactive rebase (git rebase -i) is powerful for squashing fixup commits, reordering, and editing messages.
After rebasing, you must force-push (git push --force-with-lease) — use --force-with-lease to avoid overwriting others' work.

Conflict Resolution

Use git diff and git log --merge to understand the conflicting changes.
Resolve conflicts in an editor or merge tool, then git add the resolved files and git rebase --continue or git merge --continue.
If a rebase goes wrong, git rebase --abort returns to the pre-rebase state.
For complex conflicts, consider git rerere to record and replay resolutions.

Recovery Techniques

Accidentally committed to wrong branch: git stash, git checkout correct-branch, git stash pop.
Need to undo last commit: git reset --soft HEAD~1 (keeps changes staged).
Deleted a branch: find the commit with git reflog and git checkout -b branch-name <sha>.
Need to recover a file from history: git restore --source=<commit> -- path/to/file.

Pitfalls to Avoid

Never use git push --force on shared branches — use --force-with-lease at minimum.
Do not commit large binary files — use Git LFS or .gitignore them.
Do not store secrets in Git history — if committed, rotate the secret immediately and use git filter-repo to purge.
Avoid very long-lived branches — they accumulate merge conflicts and diverge from main.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Git Expert AI skill do?

Git operations expert for branching, rebasing, conflicts, and workflows

Why use Git Expert on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Git Expert is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Git Expert in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/RightNow-AI/openfang/tree/main/crates/openfang-skills/bundled/git-expert. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Git Expert?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Git Expert?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Git Expert with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Git Expert AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by RightNow-AI under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
