| description | Create a local git commit for a scoped set of changes without pushing. Use when the user asks to commit current work, make a commit message, or checkpoint changes locally but does not ask to push or open a pull request. |
Commit
Use this skill only for a local commit boundary.
Do not push. Do not open a PR. If the user wants either of those, route to
commit-push or create-pr.
Preconditions
- Confirm the repository state with
git status -sb.
- Inspect the relevant diff before staging.
- If the worktree is mixed, stage only the intended files. Do not silently
include unrelated user changes.
Workflow
- Inspect status and diff for the requested scope.
- Decide the staging strategy.
- Prefer explicit file paths when scope is narrow.
- Use
git add -A only when the full worktree is clearly in scope.
- Write an intentional commit message.
- Default to a terse imperative summary.
- Add a body only when the user asked for more context or the change needs
rationale.
- Commit locally.
- Report the branch, short SHA, and what was included.
Safety Rules
- Never amend or force-rewrite history unless the user explicitly asks.
- Never commit generated noise or unrelated untracked files without confirming
they belong in scope.
- If hooks or tests fail, report the exact blocker instead of pretending the
commit succeeded.
Output Expectations
Return:
- branch name
- commit SHA
- commit message
- whether anything remains unstaged or uncommitted
