SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual step of turning local changes into clean, logically grouped git commits during the Ralph autonomous development loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change inspection: Determines what to commit by running git status and git diff to understand current modifications.
  • Atomic commit planning: Groups related files and drafts clear, imperative commit messages focused on intent (“why”).
  • Immediate autonomous execution: Runs git add on selected files (never -A or .), creates commits, prints recent history, and signals completion with COMMIT_COMPLETE.

Quick Start

Tell the autonomous agent to run /autonomous-commit to inspect your working tree and automatically create the appropriate git commit(s) without asking for approval.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create git commits automatically in an autonomous workflow?▼

To create git commits automatically, this Skill inspects the working tree and diffs using git status and git diff, then stages specific changed files and commits them with intent-focused messages without manual approval.

What is the best way to group changed files into atomic commits during repository automation?▼

Atomic commit planning works by analyzing git diff output to group related modified files together, drafting imperative commit messages focused on the why, and staging only those specific file paths.

Can I use git add -A or git add . for autonomous commit automation?▼

No, autonomous commit automation requires precise git add file paths for staging changes, explicitly avoiding git add -A or git add . to prevent accidentally staging unrelated repository modifications.

How does an autonomous agent signal commit completion in a multi-step development loop?▼

The autonomous agent signals commit completion by running git commit immediately, displaying recent git log output for verification, and ending the execution loop with the COMMIT_COMPLETE signal.

Do I need to manually approve staging changes when using autonomous commit generation?▼

No, you do not need to manually approve staging changes; the autonomous workflow executes the entire process from diff inspection through git commit immediately without asking for user approval.

Why should I use autonomous git commits instead of staging changes manually?▼

Autonomous git commits remove the manual bottleneck of turning local repository changes into clean, logically grouped commits, which is essential for maintaining velocity in multi-step autonomous development loops.
