git-diff
Capture the current git diff (staged, working-tree, or staged file list) as text. Direct shell call for workflows that need repository diffs without an LLM agent loop.
Profile →npx skills add opensquilla/opensquilla --skill git-diff --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# git-diff (sub-skill) Direct shell invocation that returns the current git diff as text. Replaces ``sub-agent`` sub-Agent steps that just shell out to ``git diff`` — order-of-magnitude faster (no LLM round-trip). ## Modes | mode (`with.mode`) | behaviour | |-------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------| | `cached_fallback_worktree` | `git diff --cached HEAD`; falls back to `git diff HEAD` if staged diff is empty. Default. | | `cached` | `git diff --cached HEAD` only | | `worktree` | `git diff HEAD` only | | `staged_files` | `git diff --cached --name-only` (path list) | ## Output - Non-empty diff: raw unified diff text on stdout. - Empty (no changes): exits 0 with the literal `NO_DIFF` on stdout so downstream meta-step prompts can short-circuit reviewers. - git not a repo / git error: exit 1, stderr carries the cause. ## Fallback If this skill is unavailable, callers should spawn ``sub-agent`` with a ``git diff`` task — same output, ~10× the latency.

What does the git-diff skill do?
Capture the current git diff (staged, working-tree, or staged file list) as text. Direct shell call for workflows that need repository diffs without an LLM agent loop.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add opensquilla/opensquilla --skill git-diff --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From opensquilla/opensquilla, a repository with 6,515 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
