Generate a commit message for the staged changes and let the user edit it before committing.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Interpreting arguments

Arguments are optional and free-form. Parse them as follows:

• . or all: run git add -A to stage everything before proceeding.
• File paths (tokens that look like paths, e.g. app/models/user.rb, ./config/*): run git add <path> for each before proceeding.
• Context/instructions (everything else, e.g. "fixes #123" or "mention migration"): use as additional guidance when generating the commit message. Do not add it verbatim to the message.
• Both can appear together, e.g. /commit app/models/user.rb fixes issue with login.

If no arguments are given, work with whatever is already staged.

Steps

1. If arguments contain file paths, stage them with git add.
2. Run git diff --staged and git status to understand what is staged.
3. If nothing is staged, tell the user and stop.
4. Generate a concise commit message (only subject line for smaller changes, with description for larger changes). Use recent git log --oneline -5 to match the repo's style. Incorporate any context from the arguments.
5. Build /tmp/commit_msg.txt using the bundled script:

   ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/build_commit_file.sh "<message>"
   

   See scripts/build_commit_file.sh for the format (message + # comments + diff, git commit -v style).
6. Open the file in the editor using the bundled script (exits 0 = confirmed, exits 1 = cancelled):

   ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/open_editor.sh
   

   See scripts/open_editor.sh for details on how :wq/ZZ vs :q! are detected.
7. If the script exits 1, the user cancelled — abort and tell them no commit was made.
8. Otherwise run: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/git_commit.sh
   • Strips # comment lines and everything after the scissors line, then runs git commit -F -.

Notes

• Do not add a "Co-Authored-By" trailer unless the user has added it themselves in the editor.
