description	Create well-formatted git commits with conventional commit messages and emoji. Use when user asks to commit changes, save work, or after completing a task that should be committed.

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

1. Check status: Run git status to see changes
2. Review diff: Run git diff to understand changes
3. Check recent commits: Run git log --oneline -5 for commit style reference
4. Stage files: If no files staged, add relevant files with git add
5. Analyze changes: Determine if multiple commits are needed
6. 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

Implements login, logout, and session management.
