What this skill does
Commit Skill Create well-formatted commits with conventional commit messages and emoji prefixes. When to Use User explicitly asks to commit changes User asks to "save" or "commit" their work After completing a significant task (ask user first) User says "commit this" or similar Process 1. Check status: Run git status to see changes 2. Review diff: Run git diff to understand changes 3. Check recent commits: Run git log --oneline -5 for commit style reference 4. Stage files: If no files staged, add relevant files with git add 5. Analyze changes: Determine if multiple commits are needed 6. Create commit: Use conventional commit format with emoji Commit Message Format Commit Types with Emoji Type Emoji When to Use ------ ------- ------------- feat: ✨ New feature fix: 🐛 Bug fix docs: 📝 Documentation refactor: ♻️ Code refactoring chore: 🔧 Build/tooling perf: ⚡️ Performance test: ✅ Tests style: 🎨 Code formatting ci: 🚀 CI/CD changes fix: 🔒️ Security fix chore: 🔖 Release/version tag Git Safety Rules NEVER update git config NEVER use destructive commands (push --force, hard reset) unless explicitly requested NEVER skip hooks unless explicitly requested NEVER amend commits that have been pushed NEVER commit files that may contain secrets (.env, credentials.json) Splitting Commits Consider multiple commits when changes involve: Different concerns (unrelated code areas) Different types (features + fixes + docs) Different file patterns (source vs documentation) Example
