Is the jujutsu CLI required for this skill?

Yes, the detection script relies on the presence of the jj binary to verify the repository's version control status accurately.

Does this skill work with standard Git repositories?

Yes, if the script does not detect Jujutsu, it confirms the repository is a standard Git project, allowing Claude to proceed with normal git workflows.

What is Jujutsu (jj)?

Jujutsu is a next-generation version control system that can be used as a replacement for or a powerful interface to Git.

What happens if the detection script returns an error?

Developer Tools

Identifies whether a project utilizes the Jujutsu (jj) version control system to ensure the correct command-line tools are used during development.

About

The Jujutsu Version Control Detector is a specialized utility for Claude Code designed to automate the recognition of Jujutsu (jj) repositories. By executing a dedicated detection script, this skill prevents common errors caused by running standard Git commands in a Jujutsu-managed environment, allowing AI agents to seamlessly pivot between different version control workflows. It provides reliable branching logic for automated agents to determine whether to proceed with jj operations or fallback to traditional git commands, ensuring repository integrity and optimizing developer productivity in multi-VCS environments.
