Git Commit Workflow
Use this skill when the task is to create one commit from current work.
Workflow
- Inspect git status, diff, branch, and recent commit style.
- Stage only relevant changes.
- Draft a concise commit message that reflects why the change exists.
- Create a new commit non-interactively.
- Report the resulting commit summary.
Guardrails
- Never amend unless explicitly asked.
- Never bypass hooks unless explicitly asked.
- Avoid staging secrets or unrelated files.
- Do not create an empty commit.
