Gather context

The repository to commit in is the one the user named, which may differ from the session's working directory; when none is named, it is the session's repository. Run every git command below and in the rest of this workflow against that repository with git -C <repo>:

  • Current status: git status --short
  • Staged changes: git diff --cached
  • Unstaged changes: git diff --stat
  • Current branch: git branch --show-current
  • Recent commit messages: git log -5 --format='%h%n%s%n%b%n---'

Scope the commit

  • Treat a non-empty index as the intended commit scope. Do not stage additional paths unless the user explicitly asks you to select changes from the worktree.
  • When the index is empty, stage only paths that belong to the requested task after inspecting their contents, including relevant untracked files.
  • Do not include unrelated or pre-existing changes. If the index mixes unrelated work, stop and report the conflict instead of silently restaging it.
  • Do not modify source files while performing the commit workflow.
