collect-commits-and-files

Collect changed files from git diff and categorize them into source, test, config, and docs groups. This Skill classifies diffs against a target branch into a structured manifest, generating per-file diffs and category-based file lists to streamline focused code reviews.

Yes. Run collect-info.sh with --against origin/main to collect diffs against your target branch, plus optional --files paths to include explicit files. The Skill outputs a JSON manifest with categorized file lists and per-file diffs for downstream review workflows.

Diff classification generates a JSON manifest containing temp_dir, repo_root, against_branch, categorized file paths (source, test, config, docs), per-file diffs stored as .diff files, and a summary. This manifest guides downstream review agents through organized file triage.

The Skill detects and reports NOT_GIT_REPO, BRANCH_NOT_FOUND, NO_FILES, and NO_EXISTING_FILES errors. It validates the git repository, target branch existence, and file availability before generating the manifest, preventing partial or invalid reviews.

Diffing shows what changed in each file; categorization groups those files by type (source, test, config, docs). This Skill combines both—it collects diffs and organizes files by category—so reviewers focus on one type at a time instead of parsing a flat changelist.

Git diff is sufficient to collect changes against your target branch. Optional --files paths let you include additional files outside the diff scope. The Skill accepts both, merging them into one categorized manifest for flexible review coverage.
