Automated summary

Safely reverts GSD phase or plan commits using the phase manifest and dependency checks.

Strengths

  • Performs dependency checks before reverting to avoid breaking changes.
  • Requires a confirmation gate before executing destructive operations.
  • Supports three modes: --last, --phase, and --plan for flexible rollback.
  • Falls back to git log when the phase manifest is unavailable.

Limitations

  • Requires a well-formed GSD phase manifest for accurate dependency checking.
  • Targeted specifically at GSD-structured repositories, not general projects.
  • Depends on Bash, Grep, and Read tool access to function.
When to use it

When you need to reliably roll back a set of commits tied to a GSD phase or plan.

When not to use it

For non-GSD repositories or when you need a fine-grained revert of a single unrelated commit.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill uses Bash for git revert operations only, with confirmation gate and dependency checks. No destructive or exfiltrating actions, no obfuscation. The operations are reversible and safe.

<objective> Safe git revert — roll back GSD phase or plan commits using the phase manifest, with dependency checks and a confirmation gate before execution.

Three modes:

  • --last N: Show recent GSD commits for interactive selection
  • --phase NN: Revert all commits for a phase (manifest + git log fallback)
  • --plan NN-MM: Revert all commits for a specific plan </objective>

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/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/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/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/download' --output '.skill-downloads/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/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): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

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.

test -f '.skill-downloads/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/gsd-undo' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68' '.claude/skills/gsd-undo'

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/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68'

openskills read 'safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68'

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/safe-gsd-git-revert-msh3ut68/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.
