How to use the Chinese Git Workflow Guide agent skill

Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data

The chinese-git-workflow skill is a reference guide that an AI agent reads when you explicitly ask for it. It covers how Git works on China-based hosting platforms such as Gitee, Coding.net, JiHu GitLab and CNB, including remote URLs, SSH or HTTPS login, CI config files and mirroring a repo to GitHub. After this guide you will know how to install the skill, call it with /chinese-git-workflow, and check what it can and cannot do.

Quick start

  1. 1Download the ZIP. Download the chinese-git-workflow ZIP from this page. It contains the SKILL.md file.
  2. 2Unzip into a skills folder. Place the chinese-git-workflow folder in ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or in .claude/skills/ inside a project.
  3. 3Or upload in the Claude apps. In the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill.
  4. 4Check Git and your account. Make sure Git is installed and you have an account and access token or SSH key on your target platform.
  5. 5Invoke the skill explicitly. Start your request with /chinese-git-workflow followed by a plain-language task.
  6. 6Replace placeholders and review. Swap <org>, <repo> and similar placeholders for real values, and review any config before using it.

What the skill makes the agent do

Agent skills are folders of instructions that an AI assistant loads when a task needs them. This one is a single file, SKILL.md, containing reference material about Git on domestic hosts. When you invoke it, the agent uses that material to answer questions and shape its help.

The skill covers a platform comparison table (Gitee, Coding.net, JiHu GitLab, CNB and GitHub), platform-specific remote URL and SSH examples, three branching models (trunk-based development, Git Flow, and a simplified dev/main flow), branch naming rules, Chinese-language Conventional Commits examples, and CI config examples for Gitee Go, Coding CI, JiHu GitLab CI and CNB.

  • Remote URL formats for each platform
  • SSH config and HTTPS credential notes
  • Mirroring to GitHub by adding a second push URL
  • Branch naming and commit message conventions
  • CI/CD file layouts for each platform

Install the skill from the ZIP download

Download the ZIP for this skill from the page. It contains SKILL.md. Unzip it so that the folder named chinese-git-workflow sits inside one of these locations: ~/.claude/skills/ for your personal skills, or .claude/skills/ inside a project folder if you want the skill limited to that project.

If you use the Claude apps instead of files on disk, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill there.

  • Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/chinese-git-workflow/
  • Project install: .claude/skills/chinese-git-workflow/ inside your repo

Trigger the skill with an explicit command

This skill is set to run only when you type /chinese-git-workflow explicitly. It is not meant to switch on because your message happens to mention Git. Put the command at the start of your request, followed by the task in plain language.

Because of this, a casual question about Git will not load the guide. If you want the agent to use it, include the command every time.

  • Example: /chinese-git-workflow I'm moving our project from GitHub to Gitee. What remote setup should I use?
  • Example: /chinese-git-workflow Suggest a branch model for a 5-person team that releases every two weeks.
  • Example: /chinese-git-workflow Write a Chinese commit message for a fix to the payment callback.

Use it for common tasks

Ask for a concrete result. The skill gives the agent defaults such as the CNB HTTPS-only rule or the requirement that personal access tokens be used as passwords, so state your platform and team size when you ask.

Review any config the agent writes before you commit it. The examples in the skill are templates with placeholders like <org> and <repo> that you must replace.

Safety notes: scripts, network and secrets

The skill runs no scripts and makes no network calls. It is reference text only. It will not run Git commands or change your repositories. You or the agent still decide what to execute.

Do not paste real access tokens or private keys into the chat. The agent may echo them back inside config examples, so use placeholders instead and keep credentials in your platform's token settings or your local SSH setup.

  • Runs scripts: no
  • Uses network: no
  • Needs Git installed locally, and an account plus access token or SSH key on the target platform if you actually connect

Tips for getting better results

Name the platform and team size in your request, because the skill advises against copying large-company workflows into small teams. Ask for one platform at a time when you need exact remote settings.

When you want commit messages in a consistent style, ask for the Chinese Conventional Commits format and paste a short description of the change. The skill's good and bad examples are useful for checking the output.

  • State platform, team size and release rhythm in one message
  • Ask for placeholders rather than real credentials
  • Check CI files against the platform's official documentation before relying on them

What people use it for

  • Setting the remote URL and SSH config for a project moving to Gitee
  • Mirroring a repo to GitHub by adding a second push URL
  • Choosing between trunk-based development, Git Flow and a simplified dev/main flow for a team
  • Drafting branch names like feat/ or hotfix/ that follow a consistent rule
  • Writing Chinese Conventional Commits messages for features and fixes
  • Adapting a GitHub Actions pipeline to Gitee Go, Coding CI, JiHu GitLab CI or CNB

Frequently asked questions

Is the chinese-git-workflow skill free to use?

The skill is published under the MIT licence, as stated in its metadata. The source does not mention prices, so check the page you downloaded it from for any terms beyond the licence.

What do I need before using this skill?

You need Git installed on your machine. If you plan to connect to a platform, you also need an account there and an access token or SSH key. The skill itself runs no scripts and makes no network calls.

How do I install the chinese-git-workflow skill?

Download the ZIP from the page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or .claude/skills/ inside a project. In the Claude apps you can instead upload it under Settings, Capabilities, Skills.

Why doesn't the skill trigger when I ask about Git?

It is designed to load only when you type /chinese-git-workflow explicitly. Add that command at the start of your request each time you want it used.

Can the skill replace GitHub Actions or work for teams already on GitHub?

It is not meant for teams already on GitHub with GitHub Actions, because the platform-specific advice does not apply there. For domestic hosts it offers a comparison table and CI examples for Gitee Go, Coding CI, JiHu GitLab CI and CNB.

Will the skill run Git commands or push my code for me?

No. It is reference text that informs the agent's answers. It does not run Git commands or change repositories automatically.

Is it safe to paste my access token into the chat?

No. Do not paste real access tokens or private keys, because the agent may echo them back in config examples. Use placeholders instead.

Our verdict

Use this skill if you work on Gitee, Coding.net, JiHu GitLab or CNB, need correct remote and CI setup, or want a shared branch and commit style for a Chinese team. Skip it if your team is on GitHub with GitHub Actions, or if you want an agent that runs Git operations for you automatically.
