Does it support pre-commit testing?

Yes, the skill explicitly guides the AI to run project-specific commands like 'mise build' and 'mise test' before finalizing a commit to ensure code quality.

What makes this commit skill different from standard git commands?

Unlike basic commits, this skill enforces a handoff-centric structure that includes architectural context, trade-offs, and explicit 'next steps' to ensure teammates can resume work without friction.

Why does the skill emphasize the imperative mood?

Using the imperative mood (e.g., 'Implement' instead of 'Implemented') follows industry-standard git conventions for clarity and professional consistency.

How does it help with security?

The process includes an intentional staging step where the AI is reminded to never commit secrets, credentials, or environment files.

Collaboration Tools

Streamlines the creation of high-context git commits that serve as comprehensive handoff documentation for collaborative development.

About

This skill standardizes the git commit process by guiding Claude to generate detailed, structured messages that go beyond simple change logs. By documenting architectural decisions, trade-offs, and explicit next steps, it ensures that every work increment provides a clear roadmap for the next developer. It enforces best practices like imperative mood summaries and pre-commit testing, making it ideal for teams where context-sharing is critical for maintaining project momentum.

Key Features

Architecture decision tracking and trade-off logging
Structured handoff documentation within commit messages
Clear identification of work-in-progress and immediate next steps
Automated enforcement of git best practices and secret prevention
Pre-commit validation using project-specific build and test tasks
6 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Documenting complex architectural changes for future code reviews
Handing off work-in-progress to a teammate across different time zones
Maintaining a high-quality audit trail for long-term project maintenance
