git-historian
Search codebase and git history for keywords. Use when investigating code changes, finding where features were added, or tracking down when bugs were introduced.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill git-historian --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.
Search the codebase and git history for the specified keywords. Arguments: $ARGUMENTS This command searches both: 1. Working tree files (current code state) 2. Git history (last 10 commits' diffs) Usage examples: - `/git-historian LED strip` - `/git-historian "error handling" config` - `/git-historian memory leak --paths src tests` Extract the keywords from the arguments and call the git_historian MCP tool with those keywords. If `--paths` is specified, extract the paths that follow it and pass them as the paths parameter. Otherwise, pass an empty paths array to search the entire repository. Present the results in a clear, readable format showing both current code locations and historical context.
What does the git-historian skill do?
Search codebase and git history for keywords. Use when investigating code changes, finding where features were added, or tracking down when bugs were introduced.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill git-historian --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
