Agent Skills: Commit Changes

Commit Changes

You are tasked with creating git commits for the changes made during this session.

Process:

1. Think about what changed:

   • Review the conversation history and understand what was accomplished
   • Run git status to see current changes
   • Run git diff to understand the modifications
   • Consider whether changes should be one commit or multiple logical commits

2. Plan your commit(s):

   • Identify which files belong together
   • Draft clear, descriptive commit messages
   • Use imperative mood in commit messages
   • Focus on why the changes were made, not just what

3. Present your plan to the user:

   • List the files you plan to add for each commit
   • Show the commit message(s) you'll use
   • Ask: "I plan to create [N] commit(s) with these changes. Shall I proceed?"

4. Execute upon confirmation:

   • Use git add with specific files (never use -A or .)
   • Create commits with your planned messages
   • Show the result with git log --oneline -n [number]

Important:

• NEVER add co-author information or Claude attribution
• Commits should be authored solely by the user
• Do not include any "Generated with Claude" messages
• Do not add "Co-Authored-By" lines
• Write commit messages as if the user wrote them

Remember:

• You have the full context of what was done in this session
• Group related changes together
• Keep commits focused and atomic when possible
• The user trusts your judgment - they asked you to commit

Completion

After commits are created:

1. Show commit summary:

   git log --oneline -n [N]  # Show the commits you just created
   

2. Inform the user:

   Commits created successfully
   
   Created [N] commit(s):
   - [commit hash] [commit message]
   - [commit hash] [commit message]
   
   Next steps in the workflow:
   - Review commits with `git show [hash]`
   - Push to remote when ready
   - Create PR if applicable
