Description 582 -> 237 chars, body 1217 -> 290 words. The single remotes.md splits into config, fetch, push, and pull flow files. Restores the confirm: true token to the force-push gate -- it is the git plugin's cross-skill contract, gated on by git-orchestrate and git-branches. Moves push.md's worked example off main, which the skill's own Step 1 refuses, and restores the never-bare---force directive.

git-remotes
Manage git remote repositories — add/remove/configure remotes, push/pull with safety checks, fetch with pruning, and multi-remote workflows.
What it does
This skill handles remote operations within the git workflow suite. It manages remote configuration (add, remove, rename), fetch operations with pruning, push operations with force-push safety (--force-with-lease --force-if-includes), and pull strategies (fast-forward, rebase, merge). It returns structured results suitable for agent composition.
Usage
/git-remotes
Describe your remote operation: add a remote, push, pull, fetch, or configure tracking. The skill will handle the operation with appropriate safety checks and return results.

Composition
Callers that need submodule initialization after a --recurse-submodules pull hand off to
git-submodules; local-only work (commits, branches, history) belongs to git-commits,
git-branches, and git-history. The git-workflow skill routes humans here for any
remote-touching request.
