Git Commit Workflow

Overview

This skill provides a structured workflow for committing git changes that respects repository-specific guidelines and falls back to conventional commits when no guidelines exist. It ensures commits are logical, well-grouped, and follow established standards.

Workflow

Follow these steps to commit changes:

1. Read Repository Guidelines

• Look for CONTRIBUTING, CONTRIBUTING.md, or similar files in the repository root
• Extract commit message standards, guidelines, and any specific requirements
• If no guidelines found, prepare to use conventional commits as fallback

2. Assess Current Changes
