The #113 sweep rested on CLAUDE.md's premise that rtk either filters or passes through unchanged, so prefixing is always safe. Measured against rtk 0.42.4, that premise is false for several of the commands the sweep prefixed, and two skills were left giving wrong answers silently. Why: - `rtk git worktree list --porcelain -z` discards both flags and renders its own format. The `locked`/`lock_reason` fields git-worktrees Step 2 must emit are absent entirely, and paths under $HOME are abbreviated to `~/`. - `rtk git branch --list <name>` prints a phantom `* ` line even when nothing matches, so git-branches' stated ambiguity test — "output from both means the name is ambiguous" — reported every name as ambiguous. `tag --list` is a clean passthrough, so only one half broke. - `rtk git diff --name-only`/`--name-status` append a `Changes:` trailer to output documented as "one per line"; `--word-diff` emits none of the `[-removed-] {+added+}` markers its table describes; `rtk git log -L` truncates each line at ~72 chars, on the one command whose purpose is showing line content. - `rtk git stash pop` prints only `FAILED: git stash pop`, swallowing the conflict diagnostic and retained-entry message the surrounding prose tells the agent to rely on. Implementation notes: - Eleven sites reverted to bare `git`, each carrying its reason inline so the next sweep does not undo it. `mergetool` and `rebase -i` are reverted on clause 3's interactive limb only: the TTY defect does not reproduce — rtk filters exactly twelve subcommands and execs the rest — and ADR-0023 records that measurement rather than a convenient one. - ADR-0023 states the rule repo-wide with a third clause: a command whose output the skill parses, or which is interactive, stays bare. `plugins/git/README.md` is reduced to a pointer; its claim that gitea skills "contain no git/rtk mentions at all" was false, and its citation of `hard-rules.md` pointed at a file containing no occurrence of "rtk". - Eight gitea sites swept, all verified byte-identical passthroughs first. - `scripts/check-rtk-prefix.sh` gates clause 1. Run against main's pre-sweep corpus it reports 99 findings including every gitea site, so it would have caught the drift #113 was filed about. Impact: the gate covers clause 1 only, in shell-tagged fences and the opening span of Run cells. Clause 2 is not gateable — "Run `git switch`" and "`git switch` refuses" are the same tokens — and prose bullets are invisible to it. Both limits are recorded in gates.md rather than left implied.

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.
