git-workflow calls itself a router but named two of the six domains it routes to; the other four appeared nowhere in the file. All six are now named, with a routing table in the always-loaded body. git-submodules lost the foreach shell-variable semantics -- only the bare names survived, though $sm_path and $displaypath differ solely by which directory you are in. The table is back. Its relocated commands had also dropped the rtk git prefix its own SKILL.md mandates; 24 of them are re-prefixed. The wider rtk inconsistency across the plugin stays with #113. Also restores git-commits' body and footers output fields, git-branches' tag/ branch detection commands, git-worktrees' git config --worktree, pc-run's ambiguity fallback, git-remotes' git-history boundary, and git-history's pickaxe triggers.

git-submodules
Add, initialize, update, pin, inspect, and remove git submodules in multi-repository projects.
What it does
This skill handles submodule operations within the git workflow suite: cloning a superproject with
its nested repositories, adding a dependency as a submodule, initializing and updating with
pinning or branch tracking, parallel and recursive traversal, rebinding URLs and tracked branches,
and the full removal sequence including the .git/modules/ cleanup git leaves behind. It returns
structured results suitable for agent composition.
It sits alongside the other git skills rather than duplicating them: git-worktrees covers
multiple checkouts of a single repository, and git-remotes covers the superproject's own remotes.
Usage
/git-submodules
Describe the submodule task. The skill applies the shared working rules, dispatches to the
reference for that task, and returns structured results (operation, status, per-submodule details,
conflicts, and a recovery next_step when applicable).
