System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies whether a project is governed by jj (Jujutsu) or git and routes VCS commands to the correct CLI, preventing errors in mixed or colocated repositories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects the active version control system (jj or git) for the current project.
  • Handles colocated repos where both .jj/ and .git/ exist by prioritizing jj commands.
  • Provides guidance for typical VCS operations to ensure the right tool is used.

Quick Start

Run the detection flow to identify the VCS and then execute commands with the appropriate CLI (jj when jj is detected, git when git is detected). If neither is found, warn that the directory is not version controlled.
