Commit

Pick the mode from the arguments: suggest → Suggest mode; branch (optionally followed by a description) → Branch mode; anything else → Default mode.

Multi-repo: if git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree does not return true, read $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/init/references/multi-repo-detection.md and apply it. When it returns true, resolve the repository root with git rev-parse --show-toplevel, including in a linked worktree or subdirectory. In a workspace, git commands run inside each child repo; Default and Suggest modes process each repo with changes independently (per-repo steps, per-repo preview under a ## <repo-name> heading, one combined final summary); Branch mode targets a single repo (its step 1).

Default mode — stage, commit, optionally push

1. Gather changes: git diff --cached, git diff, git status --short (untracked = names only), leading with --stat when the diffs are large. In a workspace run these inside each child repo and skip the clean ones. No local changes anywhere → say so and stop.

1. Untracked-file gate: if git status --short shows untracked files (??):

• List them and warn about any that look like secrets (.env, *.key, *.pem, *.pfx, credentials.*, secrets.*, *.sqlite, *.db).
• AskUserQuestion — header "Untracked files": "Include all" / "Exclude all" / "Let me choose". "Include all" never covers secret-looking files — each one requires individual confirmation.
• Read the contents of the included untracked files — step 1 gathered only their names.

1. Generate the message: read $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/commit/references/conventional-commit-format.md and apply it to everything gathered. If changes span multiple concerns, AskUserQuestion whether to commit together or split; when splitting, run steps 4–6 once per commit with its pre-assigned files.

1. Protected-branch check: look for .claude/hooks/restrict-paths.sh — in a workspace check the child repo first, then the workspace root (first found wins). Parse its PROTECTED_BRANCHES array to decide whether the current branch is protected; no hook = unprotected; hook present but array unparseable = treat as unprotected and note it in the preview. If protected, generate a feature branch name per $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/commit/references/branch-naming.md — <type> from the commit message, slug from its subject line.

1. Preview and confirm: show the branch, the full commit message (subject and body — never truncate to subject-only), and the files to stage. AskUserQuestion — "How would you like to proceed?":

• Not protected: "Commit and push" / "Commit only" / "Edit message" / "Cancel"
• Protected: "Create branch `<name>`, commit, and push" / "Create branch `<name>` and commit only" / "Edit message" / "Cancel"
• "Edit message" takes the user's adjusted message and re-presents this step (on a protected branch, regenerate the feature branch name from it). "Cancel" aborts with zero repo changes.

1. Execute:

• If a "Create branch" option was chosen: git checkout -b <name>. If creation fails (name taken), report it and let the user pick a different name or cancel — never silently auto-suffix a name the user approved (deliberate divergence from branch-naming.md's Collision Handling).
• Stage the specific files from steps 1–2 — never git add -A, and never a secret-looking file unless individually confirmed in step 2.
• Commit with a heredoc to preserve the multi-line message:

``bash git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF' <message> EOF )" ``

• If the commit fails, report the error and stop — never proceed to push.
• Push only if the user chose a push option; use git push -u origin <branch> when no upstream exists.

1. Report: created branch (if any), Committed: <short-hash> <subject> per repo, Pushed to: origin/<branch> if pushed. If a feature branch was created, tell the user they are now on it.

Recommend /optimus:pr when a pull request is next — stay in this conversation so the implementation context is captured.

Suggest mode — message only, read-only

Never stages, commits, or modifies anything.

1. Gather changes as in Default mode step 1.
2. Read $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/commit/references/conventional-commit-format.md and generate the message(s).
3. Present each message in a copyable code block. If changes span multiple concerns, propose separate commits, each with its message and the exact files to stage. In a workspace, put each repo's suggestion under a ## <repo-name> heading (label even a single repo).

Recommend /optimus:commit to actually commit — stay in this conversation so the implementation context is captured.

Branch mode — create a named branch, nothing else

A purely local move: git checkout -b only. Never commit, push, stage, stash, reset, or modify any file or the index — staged, unstaged, and untracked changes carry to the new branch untouched. Ask questions only for multi-repo ambiguity.

1. Target repo (workspace only): one repo with local changes → target it silently, unless the description or conversation names a different repo (that repo's clean tree is the starting-fresh case; leave the dirty repo untouched). Multiple dirty repos → AskUserQuestion — header "Target repo", one option per repo. No dirty repos → pick the repo the description or conversation points to; ask if ambiguous; with no context at all, inform the user and stop.

1. Derive the description: record the current branch for the report. Use the first source with enough signal: (1) inline description from the arguments, (2) conversation context, (3) analysis of local changes, including untracked files. If none provides enough signal, print exactly:

`` Could not determine a meaningful branch name from the conversation or local changes. Provide a description, e.g., /optimus:commit branch "add user authentication" ``

and stop — never create a branch with a generic or meaningless name.

1. Name and create: read $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/commit/references/branch-naming.md; apply its Type Detection Keywords, Slug Rules, and Collision Handling. Then git checkout -b <branch-name> and report:

``` ## Branch

Created <branch-name> from <original-branch>. Local changes preserved (nothing committed or pushed). ```

Omit the last line when the tree was clean; in a workspace, name the target repo.

When the work is ready to commit, run /optimus:commit in this conversation so the implementation context is captured.
