Behavioral Guidelines

1. Read-only: This skill is for inspection only, not for making changes
2. Prefer short output: Use --oneline, --stat, or -n flags to limit output
3. Branch detection: Use git branch --show-current to identify the current branch
4. Platform detection: Use git remote -v to determine if GitHub or GitLab, then use the appropriate skill
