commitpush

name	commitpush
description	Commit staged or unstaged changes as small, atomic commits and push to the current branch. Invoke manually with /commitpush.

Commit the current working tree changes as one or more small, atomic commits, then push to the remote branch.

Rules

• Never commit automatically. Only run this skill when the user explicitly invokes /commitpush.
• Prefer small, atomic commits over one large commit. Group changes by logical unit — for example, a source change and its corresponding test belong together, but unrelated changes should be separate commits.
• Never commit unrelated files together. If the working tree contains changes across multiple logical concerns, split them into separate commits.
• Never commit generated files, secrets, or environment-specific configs (e.g. .env, __pycache__, .venv).
• Never force-push unless the user explicitly asks.

Steps

1. Inspect the working tree

Run the following in parallel:

git status
git diff
git log --oneline -5

Review all modified, deleted, and untracked files. Understand what changed and why.

2. Group changes into atomic commits

Identify logical groupings. Examples of good atomic units:

• A new feature in one module + its tests
• A bug fix in one function + its test update
• A config or tooling change (e.g. pyproject.toml)
• A documentation-only change

Do not lump unrelated changes into one commit.

3. Commit each group

For each logical group:

1. Stage only the relevant files with git add <file> ... — never use git add -A or git add .
2. Write a clear, imperative commit message that says what changed and why
3. Append the co-author trailer

Commit message format:

<imperative summary under 72 chars>

<optional body if more context is needed>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <[e-mail]>

Use a HEREDOC to pass the message:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<message here>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <[e-mail]>
EOF
)"

4. Push

After all commits are made:

git push

5. Report

Summarise each commit (hash + message) and confirm the push succeeded.
