Git Commit Assistant Skill
Safe, high-quality Git commits. Sensitive file exclusion, .gitignore management, Conventional Commits message generation.
Activation Triggers
- "commit", ".gitignore", push-related requests
Workflow
Phase 1: Repository Analysis
git status --porcelain+git branch --show-currentto check state- Read
.gitignore, suggest missing required patterns
Phase 2: File Classification
AUTO_EXCLUDE (never commit):
- Secrets:
*.key,*.pem,*credentials*,*secret*,*password*,.env* - MCP config:
.claude.json,.mcp.json* - Personal settings:
settings.json,settings.local.json, IDE configs - Build artifacts:
node_modules/,dist/,build/,vendor/,*.log,*.cache - OS:
.DS_Store,Thumbs.db
AUTO_COMMIT (generally safe):
- Source code (
src/**,internal/**,lib/**), tests, docs (*.md) - Shared config (
.gitignore,package.json,tsconfig.json,go.mod,.github/workflows/*) - Skills/Knowledge (
~/.claude/skills/**,~/.claude/knowledge/**)
CONFIRM (user decision): Files > 1MB, new directories, executables, unclassified config files
Phase 3: Commit Message Generation
- Analyze changes from
git diff --cachedandgit status - Generate Conventional Commits message:
<type>(<scope>): <subject> β English, max 50 chars, imperative - <description (Japanese OK)> π€ Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>- 3-5 bullets explaining what/why/impact. No file lists
- Present to user for confirmation
Phase 4: Commit & Push
- Stage with
git add/git rm - Commit using heredoc, verify success
- Push only after user confirmation
Sensitive Content Scan
Scan diff before commit:
- API keys:
[A-Za-z0-9_-]{20,} - Passwords:
password.*=.* - URLs with credentials:
://.*:.*@
Warn and abort commit on detection.
Error Handling
| Error | Action |
