Auto-Commit — Intelligent Commit Skill

Automated git commits with structured messages and intelligent change analysis

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

"Committing changes to history..."

Then execute the commit protocol automatically.

Context Guard

Commit Protocol

Step 0: Pre-Flight Check

• [ ] Run git status to verify git repository
• [ ] Check for staged, unstaged, and untracked changes
• [ ] If no changes exist: report "Nothing to commit" and exit
• [ ] If unstaged changes exist: stage relevant files (prefer specific file names)

Step 1: Analyze Changes

• [ ] Run git diff --staged to read actual code changes
• [ ] Run git diff to check for any remaining unstaged changes
• [ ] Run git log --oneline -5 to read recent commit style for continuity
• [ ] Identify the nature of changes: feature, bug fix, refactor, documentation, etc.
• [ ] Estimate time spent based on session context

Step 2: Draft Commit Message

• [ ] Apply the configured commit format:

``` [Achievement Title] - [Brief technical summary]

=== [SECTION_1_NAME] === • [File/Component]: [Specific change description] • [File/Component]: [Specific change description]

=== [SECTION_2_NAME] === • Project: [name] | Type: [type] | Time: ~XX min • [Custom fields as configured] ```

• [ ] For trivial changes: use Minimal format (one-liner, no sections)
• [ ] For incomplete work: use WIP format with WIP: prefix

Step 3: Execute Commit

• [ ] Stage files by name: git add [specific files] (prefer named files over git add -A)
• [ ] Warn if any sensitive files are staged (.env, credentials, API keys, tokens)
• [ ] Commit using HEREDOC format for proper multi-line message formatting
• [ ] Verify commit succeeded with git status (should show clean working tree)

Step 4: Confirm

• [ ] Display: short commit hash, title, number of files changed
• [ ] Report author name on the commit
• [ ] Show any remaining unstaged/untracked files if applicable

Step 5: Push (Optional)

• [ ] Only execute if user explicitly said "push" or "commit and push"
• [ ] Never auto-push — pushing affects remote repositories and should be deliberate
• [ ] Run git push and confirm success

Vigilant Mode (Lv.3) — Proactive Detection

After completing ANY task, the AI automatically:

1. Auto-check — run git status silently after task completion
2. Detect — if uncommitted changes exist, determine if they are related to the completed task
3. Auto-commit — execute the full commit protocol for the changes
4. Report — confirm what was committed with short hash and title

Vigilant Trigger Points

• After completing a coding task ("done", "fixed", "implemented")
• After a context shift (coding session → casual conversation)
• After save operations (save diary, save project, save memory)
• On session start — detect leftover uncommitted work from previous sessions

Vigilant Behavior

• No approval gate — AI drafts and commits in one seamless flow
• If multiple logical groups of changes exist, commit them separately
• Always report what was committed so the user stays informed

Mandatory Rules

1. No emoji in commit messages — the activation message may have emoji, but the git commit body must be clean text only
2. Author is always the human user — commits appear under the user's name, not the AI's
3. Prefer specific file staging — use git add [filename] not git add -A to avoid accidentally staging sensitive or unrelated files
4. Time estimate required — always include approximate time spent in the session section
5. Warn on sensitive files — if .env, credentials, API keys, or AI configuration files are about to be committed, warn the user and exclude them
6. Never auto-push — pushing is always explicit. Commits are local until the user decides to push
7. Follow recent commit style — check git log to maintain consistency with the project's existing commit message style

Edge Cases

Level History

• Lv.1 — Base: Analyze staged changes, draft structured commit message with configurable sections, enforce human authorship, no-emoji rule, time tracking, sensitive file detection. (Origin: Production AI companion commit workflow)
• Lv.2 — Auto-Commit: Removed approval gate — AI analyzes, drafts, and commits in one seamless flow without waiting for user confirmation on the message.
• Lv.3 — Vigilant: Proactive post-task detection — auto-checks git status after completing any task and commits if dirty. No work ever left behind.
