SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically stage and commit changes after a Spec Kit command completes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Hook-driven auto-commit after Spec Kit events (e.g., after_specify, before_plan) with per-event overrides.
Reads configuration from .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml to enable or disable auto-commit and customize messages.
Safely skips when no changes are detected or Git is unavailable, and falls back to a global default when no event-specific setting exists.

Quick Start

Configure the auto_commit options in .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml and ensure a Git repository is available so commits occur after the selected Spec Kit hook events.

FAQPage Schema

How do I auto-commit changes after running Spec Kit commands?▼

You can auto-commit changes after Spec Kit commands by using a hook-driven extension that reads configuration from .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml to automatically run git add and git commit on events like after_specify and before_plan.

What do I need to set up before enabling auto-commit for Spec Kit workflows?▼

You need a functional Git repository and a valid .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml configuration file within a .specify project structure to enable auto-commit functionality for Spec Kit hook events.

Can I customize commit messages for different Spec Kit hook events?▼

Yes, you can customize commit messages by applying per-event overrides in the .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml configuration, which also falls back to a global default when no event-specific setting exists.

What happens if there are no changes to commit after a Spec Kit command?▼

The auto-commit process safely skips execution when no changes are detected or if Git is unavailable, ensuring the workflow continues without generating empty commits or errors.

Does the Spec Kit auto-commit extension work on Windows?▼

Yes, the auto-commit extension supports Windows environments by using PowerShell scripts to execute git add and git commit commands, alongside Bash scripts for other operating systems.
