Selective commits isolate change-specific files by parsing a manifest and git status to include only relevant artifacts and tracked source files. This ensures unrelated work-in-progress stays unstaged while committing the target change.

A Spectra change manifest defines the artifacts tied to a specific change under openspec/changes/<name>/. The automation parses this manifest to identify and stage only the files belonging to that change, preventing unrelated files from entering the commit.

Safe staging requires explicit user confirmation for each included file. The workflow prompts for approval before staging any tracked source files or artifacts, providing a full commit plan to prevent accidentally committing unrelated code.

Yes, selective commit workflows parse the git status to identify files for a specific change. They infer the target change name from context and actively report unrelated changes found in the working directory without staging them.

Provide the target change name to initiate the selective commit flow. The automation collects the corresponding artifact files, optionally adds tracked source files, and presents a commit plan for your explicit confirmation before staging.
