Git Essentials extends your AI assistant with the ability to essential Git commands and workflows for version control, branching, and collaboration. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Git Essentials as its underlying capability.
Git Essentials works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Git Essentials once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Git Essentials installs like any other MCP skill: drop the folder into `~/.claude/skills/git-essentials/` for global access, or `.claude/skills/git-essentials/` to keep it scoped to one project. After a quick restart of Claude, you can trigger it explicitly with `/git-essentials`, or let the AI decide when it's the right tool for your request.
With 25,363 installs, Git Essentials has built a substantial following in the Developer & DevOps space. That install count reflects consistent demand from developers and teams who've found it genuinely useful. The source code is open on GitHub β you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/git-essentials/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/git-essentials/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /git-essentials or let the AI discover it automatically.
Git Essentials supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
