Create git commits with user approval

SKILL.md

Full skill instructions

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 achieved
    • 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]

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
  • Write commit messages as if the user wrote them
