Git Troubleshooter

Q: How do I know the Git Troubleshooter output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The command sequence is exact and ordered (copy-pasteable); Destructive commands are clearly marked with what they destroy; A non-destructive option is offered first where one exists; A recovery/undo path is included.

Diagnose a tangled git situation and give the exact, safe commands to fix it. Use when asked to undo a commit, recover lost work, fix a bad merge or rebase, resolve a detached HEAD, unstage files, or get out of a git mess. Produces the diagnosis, the precise commands to run in order, what each does, and a recovery note if something goes wrong.

What to give it

▸What happened — e.g. committed to main instead of a branch, rebase went wrong, deleted a branch with unpushed work

▸What they want instead — the end state they are trying to reach

▸The output — `git status`, `git log --oneline -5`, and any error text

▸Whether it is pushed — whether the bad state has left their machine, which decides how safe the fix is

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The command sequence is exact and ordered (copy-pasteable)

✓Destructive commands are clearly marked with what they destroy

✓A non-destructive option is offered first where one exists

✓A recovery/undo path is included

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not suggest `git push --force`, `reset --hard`, or `clean -fd` without a ⚠️ and a safer alternative first

Do not give commands without saying what each one does

Do not assume the remote state — ask or label it if it changes the safe path

Do not skip `git reflog` when work might be recoverable — it usually is
