SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of messy, unorganized Git history by automatically grouping session-specific changes into logical, conventional commits.

Core Features & Use Cases

Session-Aware Grouping: Automatically identifies files modified during the current session to ensure only relevant work is committed.
Granular Patching: Allows staging specific hunks of code when a file contains both session-related and unrelated changes.
Conventional Commit Compliance: Enforces structured commit messages with traceability for PRs, Sentry issues, and GitHub issues.

Quick Start

Run the commit skill to automatically group your current session changes and commit them with a descriptive message.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate conventional commits for my current git workflow?▼

Automate conventional commits by grouping session-specific file modifications into logical, structured commit messages. This ensures clean git history and traceability for PRs and GitHub issues without manual message formatting.

What is the best way to group session-specific changes into a clean Git history?▼

Group session-specific changes by identifying files modified during your current working session and staging them together. This approach creates logical, conventional commits that maintain a clean and traceable version control history.

Can I stage partial file changes or specific code hunks for a commit?▼

Yes, you can stage specific hunks of code. Granular patching allows staging partial file changes when a file contains both session-related and unrelated modifications, applying standard diff-filtering utilities to manage the working-tree state.

Do I need any specific dependencies or utilities to manage automated git commits?▼

You need git and standard diff-filtering utilities installed in your environment. These dependencies are required to manage your working-tree state, apply granular patches, and automate the commit workflow.

How does conventional commit compliance handle traceability for issues and PRs?▼

Conventional commit compliance enforces structured commit messages that include traceability metadata for PRs, Sentry issues, and GitHub issues. This links your version control history directly to your project management and error tracking systems.
