How does Skillspace rate Branching, merging & history skills?
Skillspace grades every Branching, merging & history skill from A to F with a published scoring engine that reads the skill's SKILL.md: architecture and maturity make the score, and a security scan can cap it. In crowded categories, a judge model also compares the strongest contenders side by side, and some skills are tested head-to-head on real tasks against other skills in the same category (including a deliberately weak one) and a no-skill baseline. Launch-quality skills are graded A to C with a clean safety verdict, and not excluded by a quality filter: the filters catch skills our model's safety screen flags for prompt injection, guardrail bypass, harmful content or credential exposure; test fixtures and attack benchmarks; skills written only for the repository they live in; templates and stubs; and near-duplicate variants and copies of other skills. Ratings were last updated on 24 September 2026; the full method is on the methodology page.
Are Branching, merging & history skills safe to install?
Of the 890 Branching, merging & history skills Skillspace rates, 862 passed its safety scan with no flag from its model, and 28 are flagged: 4 for review, 15 as risky, 6 as unsafe and 3 as attack benchmarks. Each skill's page shows its safety verdict. A pass is not a guarantee: the scan reads only the skill's SKILL.md, not the scripts or other files it ships, and looks for patterns such as piping a remote script into a shell, reading credentials or hiding actions from the user. Skills are third-party code that Skillspace indexes but does not host or endorse, so read a skill's source on GitHub before you install it.
