Security analysis

Safe

Quality score85/100

The skill only uses standard git commands (status, diff, add, commit) in a typical development workflow. No destructive or exfiltrating actions are instructed; the worst case is 'git add -A' which is suggested only after asking the user and does not pose a significant risk.
