speckit-checkpoint-commit

To create git commits for Spec Kit workflow checkpoints, use this Skill to stage all current changes and generate a descriptive commit message aligned to the specific pre-implementation stage name, such as specify, plan, or tasks, preserving your incremental progress.

The best way to commit implementation milestones in a Spec Kit project is to group completed self-contained work units or related tasks, stage all code and spec artifacts, and generate a concise commit message reflecting exactly what was accomplished.

You need to checkpoint commit spec artifacts and code changes whenever a pre-implementation stage like constitution, clarify, or analyze is finished, or when a related task group is completed during the coding phase, ensuring progress is saved in reviewable increments.

Yes, you can stage all current changes and generate commit messages for Spec Kit automatically. The Skill applies git staging across spec artifacts and related code changes, then creates a commit message matching the completed workflow step name.

This git checkpoint commit workflow does not require any external dependencies. It operates directly on projects using the Spec Kit structure by staging existing changes and generating commit messages based on your current workflow state.
