Commit Skill
Create well-formatted commits with conventional commit messages and emoji prefixes.
When to Use
- User explicitly asks to commit changes
- User asks to "save" or "commit" their work
- After completing a significant task (ask user first)
- User says "commit this" or similar
Process
- Check status: Run
git status to see changes
- Review diff: Run
git diff to understand changes
- Check recent commits: Run
git log --oneline -5 for commit style reference
- Stage files: If no files staged, add relevant files with
git add
- Analyze changes: Determine if multiple commits are needed
- Create commit: Use conventional commit format with emoji
Commit Message Format
<emoji> <type>: <description>
[optional body]

Git Safety Rules
- NEVER update git config
- NEVER use destructive commands (push --force, hard reset) unless explicitly requested
- NEVER skip hooks unless explicitly requested
- NEVER amend commits that have been pushed
- NEVER commit files that may contain secrets (.env, credentials.json)
Splitting Commits
Consider multiple commits when changes involve:
- Different concerns (unrelated code areas)
- Different types (features + fixes + docs)
- Different file patterns (source vs documentation)
Example
git add src/components/NewFeature.tsx src/services/feature.ts
git commit -m "$(cat <<'COMMIT'
✨ feat: add user authentication system
