SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing clear, convention-compliant commit messages and deciding how to group uncommitted changes is repetitive and error-prone. This Skill inspects your working tree, groups related changes, and commits them with well-formed messages following WooCommerce repository conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change Analysis: Reads current branch, uncommitted changes, and diff stats to understand what was modified before committing.
  • Smart Commit Grouping: Splits unrelated changes into separate commits (e.g., changelog entries separate from source changes) while keeping related files in one commit.
  • Convention-Based Messages: Drafts verb-first imperative messages under 72 characters using verbs like Fix, Add, Update, Refactor, and Remove.
  • Use Case: After fixing a bug in the email editor and adding a changelog file, ask the Skill to commit your work; it produces one commit for the fix and a separate commit for the changelog entry.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to commit your uncommitted changes with appropriate messages following WooCommerce conventions.

Frequently Asked Questions about woocommerce-git-commit

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I commit changes with conventional commit messages in git?▼

Stage specific files with git add and commit using a verb-first imperative message under 72 characters, such as "Fix get_item_downloads() not always returning an array". This Skill automates that by analyzing your diff and drafting compliant messages.

How should I split unrelated changes into separate git commits?▼

Group files changed for the same reason into one commit and split clearly independent changes, such as a bug fix mixed with an unrelated config change. Changelog entries should always be committed separately from source changes.

Does this Skill push commits to the remote repository?▼

No, the Skill never pushes to remote and never adds Co-Authored-By lines or self-attribution. It only creates local commits and shows git log output to confirm the results.

Why should I avoid git add -A when committing changes?▼

Blanket staging commands like git add -A or git add . can accidentally include unrelated or sensitive files in a commit. This Skill always stages specific files explicitly so each commit contains only intended changes.

Should lint checks run before or after committing PHP changes?▼

Lint checks should run before committing, not after. The woocommerce-dev-cycle skill handles PHP linting, and commits should wait until that lint passes since warnings block CI.
