This Skill helps you correct mistakes in your most recent Git commit without creating an unnecessary new commit, while avoiding the history-rewrite risks of amending commits that are already shared.
Tell the AI to amend your most recent commit only if it has not been published yet, and to guide you through whether you should use a message-only amendment or include staged file changes.

To fix a typo in your last commit message without a new commit, use git commit --amend. This updates the most recent commit object directly, allowing you to rewrite the message while keeping your history clean before publishing.
To add a forgotten staged file to your most recent git commit, stage the missing file and run git commit --amend. This applies your staged changes to the previous commit without altering its original message unless you explicitly choose to update it.
It is safe to amend a git commit only when the commit is private and has not been published to a shared remote yet. You should avoid amending commits that are already pushed, have failed pre-commit hooks, or contain non-trivial changes from other authors.
You should use force-with-lease when pushing an amended commit to enforce safety during history rewrites. It prevents overwriting changes made by collaborators on the remote branch, ensuring you only force push if no one else has uploaded new commits.
The best way to apply a trivial correction to a private commit before pushing is git commit --amend. It folds your staged changes or updated message into the previous commit, maintaining chronological clean-up for small, unpublished developer workflow corrections.
