commit-staged

To commit only staged changes in Git, you must explicitly add files to the staging area using git add. This Skill processes those staged changes exclusively, preventing accidental inclusion of unstaged modifications and maintaining a clean history.

Automated commit message generation works by combining predefined verb dictionaries with task IDs to enforce strict formatting rules. This mechanism ensures consistent, well-formatted commit messages without requiring manual entry for every staged change.

If the staging area is empty, the commit process halts execution immediately. A staged check automatically verifies if there are any staged changes present, preventing the creation of empty commits and ensuring execution only proceeds with valid staged files.

No, you cannot use this approach to rewrite Git history or amend previous commits. The process strictly adheres to commit message formatting rules and explicitly disallows history rewriting operations, ensuring a linear and safe commit progression.

A strict staging area check is necessary for version control safety because it prevents accidental inclusion of stray files. By verifying that staged changes are present and ignoring unstaged modifications, it enforces a clean and predictable commit history.
