SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a messy set of uncommitted repository changes into a clean series of logical commits, so large edits are easier to review, revert, and share.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Commit Planning: Reviews the full change set and groups edits into coherent commit units.
  • Selective Staging: Uses line-level staging to keep each commit focused on a single intent.
  • Project-Specific Messaging: Delegates commit-message creation to the local commit workflow so repository conventions stay consistent.
  • Use Case: When you finish a feature, bug fix, and refactor in one working tree, use this Skill to split them into separate commits instead of shipping one oversized change.

Quick Start

Use the commit-many skill to analyze my current git changes and create a logical commit plan.

How do I split uncommitted git changes into separate commits?

To split uncommitted git changes, the Skill analyzes your working tree and groups edits into logical commit units. It applies selective line-level staging to isolate distinct features, bug fixes, and refactors into a clean series of commits.

What is the best way to separate feature work and refactors in a mixed working tree?

Separating feature work and refactors in a mixed working tree requires commit planning and line-level staging. The Skill reviews your full change set, groups edits by intent, and creates focused commits for each logical change.

Can I use line-level staging to keep each git commit focused on a single intent?

Yes, you can use line-level staging to keep each git commit focused on a single intent. The Skill uses selective staging to ensure only relevant line changes are included in each commit, keeping the series clean and reviewable.

How does this approach handle project-specific commit message conventions?

For project-specific commit message conventions, the Skill delegates message creation to your local commit workflow. This ensures every commit in the generated series adheres to your repository's existing formatting and messaging standards.

When do I need to split a large set of repository changes into multiple commits?

You need to split a large set of repository changes into multiple commits when your working tree contains mixed feature work, bug fixes, and refactors. Separating these edits makes the changes easier to review, revert, and share.

Does this process work with existing version control workflows for code review?

Yes, the process works with existing version control workflows for code review. By splitting an oversized change into a logical series of focused commits, it improves reviewability and allows targeted reverts during release cycles.
