SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

šŸ’” This Skill requires git, jq.

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent commit messages, missing issue links, and bypassing pre-commit hooks lead to poor git history and quality issues. This Skill ensures every commit adheres to strict git discipline and project standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Commit Messages: Builds commit messages with conventional format (e.g., feat: subject) and proper GitHub issue linking (Fixes #<issue-number>).
  • Pre-Commit Hook Enforcement: Automatically stages all changes and executes pre-commit hooks, handling failures and auto-fixes without allowing bypass.
  • Atomic Commits: Designed to create a single, atomic commit per feature, ensuring a clean and traceable history.
  • Use Case: As the final step after completing feature implementation and passing all quality gates, use this Skill to create a perfectly formatted and validated commit before pushing.

Quick Start

Example: Create a commit for issue 137 with a subject and body

The skill will prompt for commit type if not provided.

commit-with-validation "Add user dark mode preference toggle" "Implemented dark mode toggle with state management"

This will execute:

git add .

git commit -m "feat: Add user dark mode preference toggle

Implemented dark mode toggle with state management

Fixes #137

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create standardized git commits with issue linking?ā–¼

Standardized commits follow a conventional format (e.g., `feat: subject`) and automatically link GitHub issues extracted from your branch name. This Skill builds the commit message with proper formatting, stages changes, and enforces pre-commit hooks to ensure every commit meets project standards before pushing.

What happens if pre-commit hooks fail during commit creation?ā–¼

When pre-commit hooks fail, this Skill handles the failure by suggesting either to amend the current commit or create a separate fix commit. It never allows you to bypass hooks, ensuring validation always passes before the commit is finalized.

Can I use this Skill with my existing git workflow?ā–¼

This Skill integrates into WescoBar Git workflows on feature branches after implementation is complete, all tests pass, and your audit score is ā‰„ 8.0. It requires git and jq as dependencies and creates atomic commits as the final step before opening a pull request.

How do I extract the issue number from my branch name automatically?ā–¼

This Skill extracts the issue number directly from your feature branch name, eliminating manual entry. It then uses that number to automatically add `Fixes #<issue-number>` to your commit message for proper GitHub issue linking.

What's the difference between one atomic commit and multiple commits?ā–¼

Atomic commits group all related changes into a single, traceable unit with a standardized message, creating clean git history. Multiple commits fragment related work and make history harder to follow. This Skill enforces atomic commits to maintain discipline and traceability.

Do I need to stage files manually before using this Skill?ā–¼

No. This Skill automatically stages all changes with `git add .` before constructing and validating your commit. You provide only the commit type, subject, and body; the Skill handles staging and enforcement.
