    About This Skill

    Streamlined Git Stash Management

    Stop losing track of your work-in-progress with cryptic, automated stashes. This skill transforms the way your AI agent handles temporary code storage, ensuring every stash is descriptive, timestamped, and easy to retrieve.

    What it does

    • Descriptive Saving: Automatically generates stash messages containing the branch name, timestamp, and a summary of your work.
    • Safe Restores: Validates the worktree status and stash indexes before performing pops, preventing accidental data loss or merge conflicts.
    • Readable Lists: Converts standard git output into a clean, numbered list that makes selecting the right stash effortless.

    Why use this skill?

    While you can manually run git commands, this skill adds a layer of safety and organization. It prevents "empty stashes," warns you before popping into a dirty worktree, and ensures your stash history is actually searchable. It handles the edge cases—like detached HEAD states or missing stash indexes—so you don't have to debug your version control history.

    Supported Tools

    Optimized for use with Claude Code, Codex, and other terminal-based AI agents with filesystem and shell access. Works in any standard Git repository.

    Use Cases

    • Create timestamped, branch-specific stash messages automatically.
    • Prevent accidental stashing when there are no changes to save.
    • List stashes in a clean, numbered format for easy selection.
    • Restore specific stashes by index with safety warnings for dirty trees.

    Permissions

    Terminal / Shell

    Git Stash Helper needs terminal access to run git stash commands. All operations are read-only to files but modify git state (stashing is safe and reversible). No network or file read access required.

    Works with Claude Code and Codex. Requires git in PATH.

    Creator

    JustHandled Labs builds focused agent skills for the work nobody wants to do by hand. Each one is a single repeatable job done well: catching the security and data mistakes that quietly ship, keeping docs and tests honest, gating the commands an agent is about to run, sharpening writing, and handling the founder chores around launches, outreach, and brand setup. Not generic AI productivity. Specific workflows that are easy to run, review, and repeat. Maintained by H.J. Westerfield, with a background in communications, editing, project coordination, customer support, and practical AI systems. Tools for people who want useful automation without theatrical complexity.
