basemind-git-history

Explore git history without shelling out to git — recent commits, commits touching a path, per-line and per-symbol blame, structural diffs across revisions, churn ranking, and a symbol's history over time. Reach for it whenever the user asks "what changed recently", "who last touched this", "when did this symbol change", "what's the diff between these revs", or "where's the churn".

This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 112 stars are split between them (about 11 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 60/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 0b42ce442bd4, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
