[{"step":"Install zagi CLI (if not already installed) using your package manager: `brew install zagi` (macOS) or `curl -sSL https://get.zagi.dev | sh` (Linux/WSL).","tip":"Verify installation with `zagi --version`. The CLI should show version 1.2+ with agent features enabled."},{"step":"Navigate to your git repository or clone a new one using `zagi clone [REPO_URL]`.","tip":"Use `zagi status` to confirm you're in a git repository with clean working directory before proceeding."},{"step":"Execute git operations through zagi commands. Replace standard git commands with zagi equivalents (e.g., `zagi add .` instead of `git add .`).","tip":"Use `zagi help` to see all 121 commands. Focus on agent-optimized commands like `zagi fork`, `zagi prompt`, and `zagi guard`."},{"step":"For complex workflows, chain zagi commands using pipes or scripts. Example: `zagi status | zagi prompt --analyze \"Suggest optimizations for these changes\"`","tip":"Use `zagi guard --strict` to enforce coding standards before commits. Combine with `zagi prompt` for AI-powered code reviews."},{"step":"Integrate with Claude agents by configuring the agent's shell commands to use zagi. Example agent prompt: 'Use zagi to handle all git operations in [REPOSITORY_PATH].'","tip":"Set up agent-specific zagi profiles with `zagi config --agent claude` to customize behavior for different agents."}]

Launch Claude Code, Cursor, or your preferred AI coding agent.
Use the prompt template or examples below to test the skill.
Adapt the skill to your specific use case and workflow.
Use zagi to [ACTION] in the [REPOSITORY_PATH] repository. [SPECIFIC_TASK]. For example: 'Use zagi to create a new branch named feature/ai-integration in the /home/user/projects/my-app repository. Commit all staged changes with the message "Add AI integration scaffolding" and push the branch to the remote.'
```
✅ Branch created: feature/ai-integration (origin/feature/ai-integration)
📝 Commit created: 1a2b3c4 ("Add AI integration scaffolding")
🚀 Pushed to remote in 0.8s (vs 1.6s with standard git)
📊 Performance:
- Branch creation: 30% faster than git
- Commit: 40% smaller output (2KB vs 3.5KB)
- Push: 1.5x faster (0.8s vs 1.2s)
🔍 Agent-friendly features used:
- Fork: Created isolated branch
- Guardrails: Validated commit message format
- Prompt: Generated commit message automatically
```
Next steps:
1. Run `zagi prompt --task "Generate unit tests for the new AI integration"` to get test scaffolding
2. Use `zagi fork --base main --name feature/ai-integration-tests` to create a test branch
3. Commit and push tests with `zagi commit -m "Add unit tests for AI integration"`Secure cloud development environments for faster coding.
