SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams ensure commits are restricted to specific tasks, preventing broad, risky changes and keeping history clean.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Verify task scope before commit by analyzing changed files and guiding scope boundaries.
  • Health-check guidance: assess test status and diffs prior to committing.
  • Generate a ready-to-run commit script (tmp/commit-SESSION.sh) that enforces scope rules without executing git add or git commit.
  • Provide a plan for what remains outside the current task scope to avoid accidental changes.

Quick Start

Run the claude commit workflow to generate a scoped commit script for the current changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce scoped commits to prevent broad changes in my git workflow?

A scoped commit script automates task boundary verification by analyzing git status and diff outputs before changes are recorded. It prevents broad, risky modifications by guiding scope boundaries and ensuring commits stay restricted to specific tasks, keeping project history clean.

How do I generate a commit script that checks task scope without auto-running git add or git commit?

You can generate a ready-to-run commit script in your tmp directory that enforces scope rules without executing git add or git commit. This script performs per-session generation, analyzes changed files, and provides health-check guidance before you manually run the commit.

Does the scoped commit workflow integrate with git status and diff outputs for code quality checks?

The scoped commit workflow integrates with git status and diff outputs to verify task scope before changes are recorded. It assesses test status and file diffs prior to committing, providing health-check guidance to ensure changes align with intended task boundaries.

What is the best way to separate task scope from out-of-scope changes before a pre-commit?

The best way to separate task scope from out-of-scope changes is to analyze changed files and generate an explicit plan for what remains outside the current task. This prevents accidental modifications by defining strict scope boundaries before executing your pre-commit workflow.

Can I use scoped commit automation for documentation and test changes, not just code?

Yes, you can apply scoped commit automation to documentation and test changes alongside code modifications. The workflow supports software development environments where changes span code, docs, or tests, applying disciplined scoping verification to all modified file types.

Why should I use a generated commit script instead of standard git workflows for task scoping?

You should use a generated commit script instead of standard git workflows to enforce explicit scope verification automatically. It prevents accidental broad changes by requiring health checks and scope boundary analysis before you manually execute the final git commands.
