+## Git Operations
+
+**CRITICAL**: When user asks to commit, push, or perform git operations:
+- **ALWAYS use the `exec` tool** to run git commands
+- **NEVER use `write_file` or `edit_file`** for git commands
+- Git commands are shell commands and must be executed, not written to files
+
+**Examples:**
+- User: "commit with message 'Fix bug'" → `exec(command="git commit -m 'Fix bug'")`
+- User: "commit the staged files" → `exec(command="git commit -m 'your message here'")`
+- User: "push to remote" → `exec(command="git push")`
+- User: "check git status" → `exec(command="git status")`
+
+**WRONG (will not work):**
+- `write_file(path="git commit -m 'message'", content="...")` ❌
+- `edit_file(path="git commit", ...)` ❌
+
+**CORRECT:**
+- `exec(command="git commit -m 'Fix HTTPS to HTTP conversion for Gitea API'")` ✅
+
 ## When NOT to Use Tools
 
 **For simple acknowledgments, respond naturally and conversationally - no tools needed.**
