Description 450 -> 266 chars, body 1044 -> 462 words. The bisect procedure moves to references/bisect.md. The boundary clause read 'not writing or rewriting commits', which disclaimed the cherry-pick and revert this skill's own Step 3 executes; it now excludes authoring and rebasing only. Adds 'backport' so cherry-pick is reachable by natural language at all, accepting 266 chars against a 250 soft target and a 400 ceiling.

git-history
Inspect git history — log queries, bisect, and locating problematic commits.
What it does
This skill handles history inspection within the git workflow suite. It queries logs with pickaxe/line-range/custom formats, runs bisect to find bug-introducing commits, and locates commits for downstream cherry-picking or reverting. It returns structured results for agent composition. Rebase, squash, fixup, and other history-rewriting operations are owned by git-commits, not this skill.
Composition
git-branches delegates cherry-pick and revert here (see git-branches's references/merging.md), which is why this skill carries those two operations rather than treating them as out of scope. They are general git knowledge, not drawn from the history-inspection.md research corpus. Server-side commit history on a Gitea-hosted repository belongs to gitea-branches; this skill reads the local working copy.
Usage
/git-history
Describe your history task: search logs, bisect for a regression, or locate a specific commit. The skill will query history and return structured results.
