Create a git commit for the pending changes, auto-generating a message in the repo's commit style and evaluating the actual diff (not just file names) to decide whether it should land as one commit or be split across several. Use whenever the user says "commit this", "commit these changes", "commit it", "make a commit", or otherwise asks to commit — even without typing /commit explicitly. Applies the "would I revert these together?" test to catch unrelated concerns (mixed features, refactor + feature, unrelated code areas) and always proposes the commit plan for approval before staging or committing anything.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 168 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Commit the current changes, splitting into multiple commits when they span unrelated concerns.

    line 17
  2. Distinctive:

    All changes serve a single goal (feature + its tests + its docs)

    line 34
  3. Distinctive:

    If the user requests changes (different groupings, different order, merge two groups, different message), revise and re-propose.

    line 64
  4. Very specific:

    Do NOT stage files that likely contain secrets (.env, credentials.json, *.key, *.pem, etc.) — warn the user if you see any in the diff

    line 73
  5. Distinctive:

    Create the commit with a message that:

    After all commits are created, run:

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 168 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Context

  • Status: !git status --short
  • Branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Staged diff: !git diff --cached --stat
  • Unstaged diff: !git diff --stat
  • Recent commits: !git log --oneline -10

Task

Commit the current changes, splitting into multiple commits when they span unrelated concerns.


Step 1 — Analyze scope

Review the status, diffs, and recent commit messages above. For any file where the --stat shows a non-trivial change, read the full diff (git diff <file> or git diff --cached <file>) so you understand what changed, not just which files.

Decide whether the changes should be one commit or split into multiple, using these signals:

Split when:

  • Changes span unrelated features or bug fixes (e.g., a typo fix + a new API endpoint)
  • Mixed refactor + feature — separate the refactor so it's reviewable and revertable on its own
  • Changes touch unrelated areas of the codebase with no logical link (e.g., frontend styling + backend migration)
  • The diff fails the "would I revert these together?" test

Keep as one commit when:

  • All changes serve a single goal (feature + its tests + its docs)
  • Refactor is small and directly supports the feature in the same diff
  • Fixes are cohesive (e.g., one bug's root-cause fix + a regression test)

Small cohesive change = one commit. Don't split for the sake of splitting.


Step 2 — Propose the plan

Output a short plan before making any commits. Wait for user approval.

Single-commit case:

Plan: 1 commit
  Files: a.ts, b.ts
  Message: "{draft 1-2 sentence summary}"

Multi-commit case:

Plan: 2 commits (reason: {one-line justification})

  1. Files: a.ts, b.ts
     Message: "{draft summary}"

  2. Files: c.ts, d.ts
     Message: "{draft summary}"

If the user requests changes (different groupings, different order, merge two groups, different message), revise and re-propose. Do NOT stage or commit until the plan is explicitly approved.


Step 3 — Execute

For each commit in the approved plan, in the order given:

  1. Stage the group's files individually by name — do NOT use git add -A or git add .
  2. Do NOT stage files that likely contain secrets (.env, credentials.json, *.key, *.pem, etc.) — warn the user if you see any in the diff
  3. Create the commit with a message that:
    • Follows the style and conventions of the recent commits shown above
    • Focuses on the "why" rather than the "what"
    • Is 1–2 sentences max
    • Does NOT include a Co-Authored-By: trailer or any Claude/Anthropic attribution
  4. Use HEREDOC format:
    git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
    Your commit message here.
    EOF
    )"

Step 4 — Confirm

After all commits are created, run:

  • git status — verify a clean working tree (or note any deliberately unstaged files)
  • git log --oneline -N (N = number of commits created) — confirm commits landed in the right order with the right messages

Report a one-line summary to the user: which commits were created and whether anything was intentionally left unstaged.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
