Best use case
commit is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Create git commits with user approval and no Claude attribution
Teams using commit should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Commit Changes You are tasked with creating git commits for the changes made during this session. ## Process: 1. **Think about what changed:** - Review the conversation history and understand what was accomplished - Run `git status` to see current changes - Run `git diff` to understand the modifications - Consider whether changes should be one commit or multiple logical commits 2. **Plan your commit(s):** - Identify which files belong together - Draft clear, descriptive commit messages - Use imperative mood in commit messages - Focus on why the changes were made, not just what 3. **Present your plan to the user:** - List the files you plan to add for each commit - Show the commit message(s) you'll use - Ask: "I plan to create [N] commit(s) with these changes. Shall I proceed?" 4. **Execute upon confirmation:** - Use `git add` with specific files (never use `-A` or `.`) - Create commits with your planned messages - Show the result with `git log --oneline -n [number]` 5. **Generate reasoning (after each commit):** - Run: `bash "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/generate-reasoning.sh" <commit-hash> "<commit-message>"` - This captures what was tried during development (build failures, fixes) - The reasoning file helps future sessions understand past decisions - Stored in `.git/claude/commits/<hash>/reasoning.md` ## Important: - **NEVER add co-author information or Claude attribution** - Commits should be authored solely by the user - Do not include any "Generated with Claude" messages - Do not add "Co-Authored-By" lines - Write commit messages as if the user wrote them ## Remember: - You have the full context of what was done in this session - Group related changes together - Keep commits focused and atomic when possible - The user trusts your judgment - they asked you to commit
