Git Commit Workflow

Git Commit Workflow

Use this skill when the task is to create one commit from current work.

Workflow

1. Inspect git status, diff, branch, and recent commit style.
2. Stage only relevant changes.
3. Draft a concise commit message that reflects why the change exists.
4. Create a new commit non-interactively.
5. 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.
