Git Commit Flow Skill

Create validated, compliant git commits through a 4-phase gate pattern: VALIDATE, STAGE, COMMIT, VERIFY. Every phase must pass its gate before the next phase begins -- no partial commits, no skipped phases. Only implement the requested commit workflow; implement only the requested commit workflow or "while I'm here" changes.

Flags (all OFF by default):

• --auto-stage: Stage all modified files without confirmation
• --skip-validation: Bypass conventional commit format checks
• --dry-run: Show what would be committed without executing
• --push: Automatically push to remote after success

Instructions

Phase 1: VALIDATE

Goal: Confirm the environment is safe for committing.

Step 1: Check working tree state
