Agent Skills: Git Commit and Push (Current Branch)

Commit working-tree changes and push to the current branch: no branch creation, no branch switch, no PR. Use when asked to push to the branch you are already on, including the default branch.

Git Commit and Push (Current Branch)

Ship the working tree on the branch that is checked out. This skill never creates or switches branches: invoking it on a branch (including main/master) is explicit authorization to push to that branch. For the guarded flow that auto-creates a feature branch off the default, use commit-push instead.

Context

On platforms other than Claude Code, run the Context fallback below. In Claude Code, the labeled sections contain pre-populated data. Use them directly.

Git status: !git status

Working tree diff: !git diff HEAD

Current branch: !git branch --show-current

Recent commits: !git log --oneline -10

Push-target state (current branch on origin): !git rev-list --left-right --count origin/$(git branch --show-current)...HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo 'NO_REMOTE_BRANCH'

Context fallback

printf '=== STATUS ===\n'; git status; printf '\n=== DIFF ===\n'; git diff HEAD; printf '\n=== BRANCH ===\n'; git branch --show-current; printf '\n=== LOG ===\n'; git log --oneline -10; printf '\n=== PUSH_TARGET ===\n'; git rev-list --left-right --count origin/$(git branch --show-current)...HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo 'NO_REMOTE_BRANCH'

Step 1: Resolve branch state

  • Detached HEAD (current branch empty): there is no branch ref to push. Report that this skill pushes only the checked-out branch and stop; suggest commit-push if the user wants a feature branch created.
  • Any named branch: continue. The default branch is not special here: invocation is consent to push where you stand.
  • Nothing to do (clean tree AND no commits ahead of the push target; the push-target counts show 0 on the right side): report and stop. The push target is always origin/<current-branch>, regardless of any differently-configured upstream, because Step 4 pushes there.
  • Clean tree but commits ahead of the push target (or NO_REMOTE_BRANCH): skip to Step 4. (NO_REMOTE_BRANCH also fires in detached HEAD, where the branch expansion is empty; the detached-HEAD bullet above runs first and stops, so keep these bullets in this order.)

Step 2: Determine conventions

Match repo style for commit messages (project instructions in context > recent commits > conventional commits as default). With conventional commits, default to fix: over feat: when ambiguous. Adding code to remedy broken or missing behavior is fix:. Reserve feat: for capabilities the user could not previously accomplish. The user may override.

Step 3: Commit

Scan changed files for naturally distinct concerns. If they clearly group into separate logical changes, create separate commits (2-3 max). Group at file level only. No git add -p. When ambiguous, one commit is fine.

Stage and commit each group. Avoid git add -A and git add .: they sweep in .env, build artifacts, and generated files:

git add file1 file2 file3 && git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
commit message here
EOF
)"

Step 4: Detect remote and push

Run git remote to list configured remotes.

  • origin not in the list — covers both a true local-only repo (empty output) and the rarer case where other remotes exist but none is named origin. Either way, do NOT attempt to push, and do NOT add, invent, or guess a remote to target. Report "local-only, no remote — commits only" (or, if non-origin remotes exist, that no origin remote is configured) and stop. Skip the push attempt entirely rather than attempting and failing — this is what keeps the step safe to run unattended.
  • origin is in the list — push, one unconditional form. It always targets origin (even when the branch's configured upstream points at another remote) and sets the upstream if missing:
git push -u origin HEAD

Never --force, --force-with-lease, or any force variant without explicit user authorization. A rejected push (diverged remote branch) is reported as-is: include the divergence counts from git rev-list --left-right --count origin/$(git branch --show-current)...HEAD and left for the user to resolve.
