Skill: Submodule Operations

Goal

Make safe, consistent changes in a workspace with many git submodules.

Use This Skill When

• •You touch files under orgs/** or .gitmodules.
• •You need to run submodule commands or update submodule pointers.
• •You are asked to change code in multiple submodules.

Do Not Use This Skill When

• •The change is confined to the root workspace only.
• •You are only editing documentation in docs/.

Inputs

• •The target submodule path(s).
• •Any required submodule commands from AGENTS.md.

Steps

1. •Identify the exact submodule(s) impacted.
2. •Work inside the submodule path; avoid cross-submodule edits.
3. •Note any required sync/update steps before finishing.
4. •Mention follow-up commands for the user if needed.

Strong Hints

• •Avoid touching submodules you do not need.
• •Keep edits localized to the intended repo.
• •If a change spans multiple submodules, sequence the work and call it out.

Output

• •Clear list of modified submodule paths and any follow-up commands.
