SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires methodic.

What problem does it solve? When you want to push or pull a Chronicle experiment's git repository directly from your own IDE, script, or manual git workflow, you need a credential and clone URL in hand — this Skill mints that token on demand instead of burying it inside an automated workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - One-shot token minting: Calls the Chronicle API to mint a 1-hour install token for a given experiment ID. - Clone URL retrieval: Prints the HTTPS clone URL along with a ready-to-paste git clone command embedding the token. - Security guidance: Reminds you that the token expires in 1 hour, that agent/* branches are read-only, and that high-risk pushes can trigger automatic token revocation. - Use Case: You want to open an experiment's repo in your IDE and hand-edit files. Ask for a git token, receive the clone URL and Bearer token, clone the repo, and push to your own branch before the token expires. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to mint a git token for your Chronicle experiment so you can clone and push to its repository from your IDE.

Frequently Asked Questions about chronicle-mint-git-token

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a git token to clone a Chronicle experiment repo?▼

Ask for a git token with the experiment ID; the skill calls Chronicle's mint_git_token endpoint and returns a 1-hour Bearer token plus the HTTPS clone URL. It also prints a ready-to-use git clone command with the token embedded.

How long does the Chronicle git token last?▼

The token expires 1 hour after minting. You can run git config credential.helper cache --timeout 3600 so git remembers the credential for that duration, and re-mint if it expires.

Can I push to agent branches with the minted git token?▼

No, agent/* branches are read-only with this token because branch protection blocks pushes. You need to create and push to your own branch instead.

Why did my Chronicle git token stop working with a 403 error?▼

High-risk pushes flagged by the surveillance pipeline trigger automatic revocation of all your outstanding tokens, causing a 403 on the next push. You will need to mint a new token to continue.

When should I not use the mint git token skill?▼

Do not use it for the prep-variation or fork-variation flows, since those skills mint their own tokens transparently. This skill is only for the explicit case where you want a credential in hand for manual git work.
