Structured Git Commits

Workflow

1. Safety stash

git stash push -m "save before structured commit: <brief description>" --include-untracked
git stash apply

Keep changes applied throughout. Do NOT re-stash between commits. Only drop the safety stash at the very end.

2. Survey and number hunks

Generate patches for all modified files and list their hunks. Quote paths with special characters (brackets, spaces, etc.):

git diff "<file>" > /tmp/<file>.patch
.claude/skills/commit-splitter/scripts/extract-hunks.py /tmp/<file>.patch --list
