What it does
Creates logical, reviewable git commits by staging intended changes, splitting unrelated work across multiple commits, and writing Conventional Commits messages with clear what/why descriptions. Guides the agent through inspecting diffs, deciding commit boundaries, patch-staging mixed changes, and verifying before committing.

Frequently asked
Does this skill require Conventional Commits?
Yes. Conventional Commits are required; the skill uses the type(scope): summary format with optional body and footer.
How does this handle mixed changes in a single file?
The skill uses patch staging (git add -p) to split unrelated changes within the same file into separate commits.
What verification does this run before committing?
The skill runs the repo's fastest meaningful check (unit tests, lint, or build) as a sanity check, but does not mandate a specific tool or test framework.
When should I use this skill—single commit or multiple?
The skill defaults to multiple small commits when changes are unrelated (e.g., feature vs refactor, backend vs frontend); single commits are used only for logically cohesive changes.
