Push Skill

Atomic test-commit-push workflow. Catches failures before they reach the remote.

Steps

Step 1: Detect Project Type

Determine which test suites apply:

• Go: Check for go.mod (or cli/go.mod). If found, Go tests apply.
• Python: Check for requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or setup.py. If found, Python tests apply.
• Shell: Check for modified .sh files. If found, shellcheck applies (if installed).

Step 2: Run Tests

Run ALL applicable test suites. Do NOT skip any.

Go projects:

cd cli && go vet ./...
cd cli && go test ./... -count=1 -short

Python projects:

python -m pytest --tb=short -q

Shell scripts (if shellcheck available):

shellcheck <modified .sh files>

If ANY test fails: STOP. Fix the failures before continuing. Do not commit broken code.

Step 3: Stage Changes

git add <specific files>

Stage only the files relevant to the current work. Do NOT use git add -A unless the user explicitly requests it. Review untracked files and skip anything that looks like secrets, temp files, or build artifacts.

Step 4: Write Commit Message

Write a conventional commit message based on the diff:

• Use conventional commit format: type(scope): description
• Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, style, perf
• Keep subject line under 72 characters
• Focus on WHY, not WHAT

Step 5: Commit

git commit -m "<message>"

Step 6: Sync with Remote

git pull --rebase origin $(git branch --show-current)

If rebase conflicts occur: resolve them, re-run tests, then continue.

Step 7: Push

git push origin $(git branch --show-current)

Step 8: Report

Output a summary:

• Files changed count
• Tests passed (with suite names)
• Commit hash
• Branch pushed to

Guardrails

• NEVER push to main or master without explicit user confirmation
• NEVER stage files matching: .env*, *credentials*, *secret*, *.key, *.pem
• If tests were not run (no test suite found), WARN the user before committing
• If git pull --rebase fails, do NOT force push — ask the user
• Do NOT run ao codex stop after the remote push. If session closeout is needed, finish it through $validation, $post-mortem, or $handoff before entering $push
