Git Commit Skill

Quickly stage all changes, create a helpful commit message, and push to remote.

Usage

When user invokes this skill, execute the following steps:

1. Check git status - See what files have changed
2. Stage all changes - Add all modified/new files
3. Write a helpful commit message - Based on the actual changes
4. Push to remote - Push to the current branch's upstream

Commands

# Check current status and changes
git status
git diff --staged
git diff

# Stage all changes
git add -A

# Commit with helpful message (use HEREDOC for multi-line)
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<summary line>

<optional detailed description>

)"

# Push to remote (uses current branch's upstream)
git push

Commit Message Guidelines

• Summary line: 50 chars or less, describes what changed and why
• Imperative mood: "Add feature" not "Added feature" or "Adds feature"
• Focus on the why: Explain the reason for changes, not just the mechanics

Examples

Safety Checks

Before committing, verify:

• No sensitive files (.env, credentials, secrets)
• No generated binaries or large artifacts accidentally staged
• Branch is correct for the changes being made

If any issues are found, warn the user and ask before proceeding.
