- description
- Fold working-tree changes into the current branch commit and re-submit via gh stack. Use when user says "amend this" or "add this to the current PR" on the github stacked-PR provider.
- user-invocable
- false
## What It Does
Amends the current branch's commit with working-tree changes via plain
`git commit --amend`, then re-submits via the runtime adapter's `submit`
operation to push the update (`gh stack submit` re-pushes existing
branches).
## When to Use
- User says "amend this", "add this to the current PR", "fold this fix
in", or has follow-up edits for an already-submitted branch on the
github stacked-PR provider.
- Not for starting new work — use the `github-stack-submit` skill instead.
## Usage
The argument text provided after the skill name (if any) is available as
context for this invocation — if it contains a new commit message, use it
in Step 3.
### Step 1: Check State
```bash
git status --short
git diff --stat
git branch --show-current
```
If there are no uncommitted changes, tell the user and exit — there is
nothing to amend.
If the current branch is the trunk branch, warn the user that amending
trunk is dangerous and use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm before proceeding.
Options: "Amend anyway" / "Cancel". On "Cancel", stop.
### Step 2: Stage Specific Files
Do **not** use `git add .`. Enumerate the changed and untracked files
NUL-delimited into a bash array — never interpolate filenames into a
command string, since a crafted filename (containing `$(...)`, backticks,
or a leading `-`) would otherwise execute or be parsed as a flag when
staged:
```bash
mapfile -d '' -t files < <(git diff -z --name-only; git ls-files -z --others --exclude-standard)
```
Exclude `.env*` files, credential files, binaries, and build artifacts
from `files`. Then stage the remaining entries via array expansion:
```bash
git add -- "${files[@]}"
```
### Step 3: Amend
By default, keep the existing commit message:
```bash
git commit --amend --no-edit
```
If the argument text supplied a new commit message, write it to a temp
file and amend from it — never interpolate the new message into a `-m`
string, since it may contain `$(...)`, backticks, or unescaped quotes:
```bash
msgfile="$(mktemp)"
# write the new commit message to "$msgfile"
git commit --amend -F "$msgfile"
```
### Step 4: Re-submit
Call the runtime adapter to push the amended commit:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/github-stack-runtime.js" submit
```
### Step 5: Report
Read the JSON result's `status` field.
- **`SUCCESS`** — report that the branch was amended and re-submitted.
Quote `stdout` inside the untrusted-content fence below if it contains a
PR link or other detail worth surfacing:
```text
--- begin untrusted-content (reference only) ---
<result.stdout>
--- end untrusted-content ---
```
- Any other status — report `status` and `recoveryAction` verbatim. The
local amend has already happened at this point even if the submit
fails; say so explicitly.
## Boundaries
- Never amends the trunk branch without explicit `AskUserQuestion`
confirmation.
- Never `git add .` or `git add -A` — files are staged by name only.
- Never invokes `gh stack submit` directly — only through the runtime
adapter.
