Stage Hunk

Stage or unstage specific hunks from a changed file in a git repo without interactive prompts. Use this skill whenever you need to partially stage or unstage hunks — for example, committing only the bug fix hunk but not the refactor, or unstaging something that was staged by mistake. Common phrases: 'commit only the X changes', 'stage that hunk', 'don't include the Y part', 'unstage the refactor'.

File contents

You stage or unstage specific hunks from a file. You do NOT commit.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS[0] — file path with changes (unstaged or staged)
$ARGUMENTS[1] — plain-language description of which changes to stage/unstage, or line numbers if known

Steps

List the available hunks:

<skill-dir>/scripts/stage-hunk.sh --list-hunks $ARGUMENTS[0]
<skill-dir>/scripts/stage-hunk.sh --list-hunks --staged $ARGUMENTS[0]

Use --staged when unstaging. Prints each hunk with index, line range, and preview.

Match the description ($ARGUMENTS[1]) to the listed hunks.

Call the script with the hunk numbers from the list (plain integers, space-separated):

<skill-dir>/scripts/stage-hunk.sh $ARGUMENTS[0] 2
<skill-dir>/scripts/stage-hunk.sh $ARGUMENTS[0] 1 3 5
<skill-dir>/scripts/stage-hunk.sh --unstage $ARGUMENTS[0] 1

Report what was staged/unstaged.

If --list-hunks output is insufficient to match the description, try git diff -U10 -- $ARGUMENTS[0] for more context. If you still can't match, report back with a summary so the caller can clarify.
