Defame1297 6cfc3577e2 docs: trim repeated boilerplate in git, gitea, and bin skills
Finding 13: five blocks of near-identical wording were repeated across
skills within a plugin — the gitea "resolve owner and repo" step (5
skills), the 404-masks-403 note (6 files), the manual pagination
explanation (8 files), the git plugin's main/master force-push refusal
(7 files, some with multiple internal restatements), and the bin
skills' domain-glossary/ADR paragraph (5 skills). Tightened each
instance in place — same meaning, fewer words — rather than extracting
to a shared file, which ADR-0014's one-file-per-skill install
constraint rules out. Left the three git skills' structured-result
JSON shapes alone (coupled to the separate, out-of-scope git-orchestrate
merge candidate, finding 19).

Use when creating, amending, squashing, or cherry-picking commits, including
writing and validating the Conventional Commits message.
Not history inspection -> `git-history`.
Not branch lifecycle -> `git-branches`.

## Gotchas
- **Run git as `rtk git <subcommand>`, never bare `git`** — org convention, in `&&` chains too, except where a skill's Gotchas name a specific bare-git case (interactive rebase here).
- **Refuse to force-push `main`/`master`.** A rewrite diverges the branch and the reflex is to force it back — safe only where nobody else has based work on it.
- **`reset --hard` is a confirmation gate, not a default.** It overwrites the working tree, and uncommitted edits it discards were never in git, so no reflog recovers them. Name what will be lost and offer a stash first.
- **Never add `--no-verify`** — using it when a hook fails bypasses the QA gate the pipeline depends on. Only on the user's explicit demand, with a warning.
## Dispatch
Read exactly one flow file. Each is self-contained.
| Condition | Flow | Read |
|---|---|---|
| Composing a new commit from staged changes | create | `references/create-commit.md` |
| Amending, squashing, folding a fixup, rebasing onto a new base, or resetting HEAD | rewrite | `references/rewrite-history.md` |
| Replaying an existing commit onto the current branch | cherry-pick | `references/cherry-pick.md` |
## Gates on every flow
1. **Confirmation.** No history rewrite executes without explicit approval from the user or the calling agent. Cherry-pick needs the destination branch confirmed first.
2. **Atomicity.** The result must be one logical, independently reviewable and reversible change that leaves the repository buildable and testable. This binds an amend or a squashed result as much as a fresh commit — say so before writing it, not after.
3. **Secrets.** Before any commit or amend, scan the staged diff for anything resembling an API key,
token, password, connection string, or environment-specific config. Stop and flag it rather than
committing it.
4. **Validation.** Check the message against commitlint `config-conventional` before committing. If a type, footer, or breaking-change edge case is not obvious, read `references/conventional-commits-spec.md` — it carries the constraint table, the 11-type set, and the footer token rules.
5. **SemVer impact.** Report the bump the commit implies: `feat` → MINOR, `fix`/`perf`/`revert` → PATCH, any breaking change → MAJOR, everything else → none. Callers decide releases from this, so never omit it.
6. **Conflicts.** If a rebase or cherry-pick halts, offer resolution or an abort. Do not resolve automatically without confirmation.
## Output
For an agent caller, return:
```json
{
"operation": "create|amend|squash|cherry-pick",
"status": "success|conflict|rejected",
"message": "commit message or error description",
"commit_hash": "abc1234",
"semver_impact": "MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH|none",
"breaking_change": false,
"confirmation_required": false,
"details": {
"type": "feat",
"scope": "api",
"description": "add user authentication",
"body": "optional body text, or null",
"footers": ["Fixes: #123", "Refs: #456", "Co-authored-by: Bob <bob@example.com>"]
}
}
```
`details.footers` is an array of the resolved trailer lines, empty when there are none — never a
single joined string, and never omitted. Downstream agents index it.
For a human caller, show the same fields as a prose preview with a confirmation prompt.
