Our review

Undoes the last commit while keeping changes in the staging area.

Strengths

Quickly fix the commit message
Retains already staged changes
Non-destructive and easily reversible

Limitations

Only works for the most recent commit
Does not alter the content of the previous commit (only message or missing files)
Requires basic git knowledge

When to use it

Use when you need to amend the commit message or add missing files that should have been included.

When not to use it

Avoid if the commit has already been pushed to a shared remote repository, as it rewrites history.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score90/100

The skill only runs a local git command to undo the last commit while keeping changes staged. There is no network access, file deletion, secret exfiltration, or any destructive action. It does not disable safety features or execute arbitrary code. The allowed-tools restriction is appropriate.
