Automated summary

Reviews uncommitted working changes in a Git repository to identify logic errors, bugs, and unwanted behavior.

Strengths

  • Quick detection of issues in modified code without unnecessary summarization
  • Leverages git diffall for a comprehensive view of all changes
  • Focuses on bugs and logic errors rather than style or formatting

Limitations

  • Does not provide a summary or high-level overview of changes
  • Limited to uncommitted changes only
  • Depends on the quality of the diff and may miss broader context issues
When to use it

Use this skill right after making local changes to verify they are bug-free before committing.

When not to use it

Do not use it for a full code review involving remote files or when you need a summary of changes.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill only executes 'git diffall', a read-only command that displays uncommitted changes. It does not modify files, exfiltrate data, or invoke any destructive operations. The allowed-tools list explicitly restricts Bash to this single command, preventing misuse.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Review latest uncommitted changes for bugs
Review my uncommitted changes for any logic errors or bugs.
Find unwanted behavior in working tree
Look at the uncommitted diff and point out any potential unwanted behavior or missing edge cases.

name: review-uncommitted description: Review the working changes that are uncommitted for issues allowed-tools: Bash(git diffall) disable-model-invocation: true

Review the working changes that are uncommitted for issues. You should retrieve these working changes by running git diffall. Don't summarize the changes. You should focus on errors in logic, unwanted behavior and bugs. If you feel strongly that the changes are missing something that wouldn't necessarily qualify as a bug, feel free to point them out as well.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq/download' --output '.skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash(git diffall)

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq'

openskills read 'review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/review-uncommitted-changes-mm78nnpq/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
