Git Commit Workflow#

Use this skill when the task is to create one commit from current work.

Workflow#

1. Inspect git status, diff, branch, and recent commit style.
2. Stage only relevant changes.
3. Draft a concise commit message that reflects why the change exists.
4. Create a new commit non-interactively.
5. Report the resulting commit summary.
