diagnose_repoDiagnose a Git repository
Use when a repository seems stuck or broken: lists every problem found (conflicts, rebase in progress, detached HEAD, diverged branch, large or secret files...), most urgent first, each with a plain explanation and the commands for the user to run.
explain_git_errorExplain a Git error message
Use when a git command printed an error (push rejected, authentication failed, unrelated histories, merge conflict...): says what it means and the fix. Pass path to tailor the fix to the repository.
explain_stateSummarise a Git repository's state
Use for a neutral plain-English summary of a repository: branch, upstream and ahead/behind (as of the last fetch), remotes, staged/changed/untracked files, and any operation in progress.
