Overview

Commit changes with scope allowlist enforcement, atomic grouping, GPG-signed conventional commits, and trailer management. Detects the repo's PR-validation scope policy before proposing any message. Use when the user asks to commit or has changes ready to record. Skip when the working tree is clean or the user wants raw git commands without grouping.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Analyze changes, enforce scope policy, group them into coherent atomic commits, and create signed commits following repository conventions. This skill transforms a messy working directory into a clean, logical commit history — with a scope that will actually pass PR validation.

⛔ HARD STOP — READ SCOPE POLICY BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE

The scope is REQUIRED in every commit message. It MUST come from the repo's allowlist.

MUST detect the allowlist in Step 0 before analyzing or drafting any commit message. A commit with an invented or omitted scope will fail PR validation and block the PR.

Step 0 — Detect Scope Policy

Many repos enforce an allowlist of valid scope values via a GitHub Actions workflow. Failing this check blocks the PR, so MUST detect it before proposing any commit message.

0.1 — Locate the policy file

Check in this order:

.github/workflows/pr-validation.yml (primary)
.github/workflows/pr-title.yml
.github/workflows/commitlint.yml
.github/workflows/semantic-pull-request.yml
Root configs: commitlint.config.{js,cjs,mjs,ts}, .commitlintrc*

0.2 — Extract the allowed scope list

Common forms to look for:

Form	Example
`scopes:` block (one per line)	Under `amannn/action-semantic-pull-request`
`scopes: a,b,c` inline	Comma-separated on one line
`scope-enum` rule	In commitlint config arrays

Also note any type restrictions — some repos limit types beyond the default Conventional Commits set.

0.3 — Apply the policy

Situation	Required Action
Policy found, scope is clear	Use only scopes from the allowlist
Policy found, scope is ambiguous	STOP and ask the user which allowed scope to use
No policy file found	MUST still include a scope — ask the user what scope to use

NEVER omit the scope. NEVER invent a scope not in the allowlist. A bare type: description is FORBIDDEN.

State the policy source and chosen scope to the user before proceeding.

Step 1 — Gather Context

Run in parallel:

git status
git diff
git diff --cached
git log --oneline -10

Step 2 — Analyze and Group Changes

For each changed file determine:

Type: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test, style, perf, ci, build
Scope: from the allowlist resolved in Step 0
Logical group: what other files belong with this change?

Grouping Principles

Principle	Description
Feature + Tests	Implementation and its tests go together
Config Changes	`package.json`, `tsconfig`, etc. grouped separately
Documentation	`README`, `docs/` changes grouped together
Refactoring	Pure refactors (no behavior change) separate
Bug Fixes	Each fix is atomic with its test

Single vs Multiple Commits

Single commit when:

All changes belong to one coherent feature/fix
User provides a specific message via argument
Changes are minimal and related

Multiple commits when:

Changes span different concerns (feature + docs + deps)
Mix of features, fixes, and chores
Better git history benefits future archaeology

Step 3 — Determine Commit Order

Order matters for bisectability:

Dependencies first — so subsequent commits can use them
Core changes — implementation before consumers
Tests with implementation — keep them atomic
Documentation last — documents the final state

Step 4 — Present Plan and Confirm

MUST get user confirmation before executing.

Proposed Commit Plan:
─────────────────────
Scope policy: .github/workflows/pr-validation.yml → allowed scopes: [api, auth, docs, ci]
Chosen scope: auth

1. feat(auth): add OAuth2 refresh token support
   - src/auth/oauth.ts (modified)
   - src/auth/oauth.test.ts (modified)

2. chore(deps): update authentication dependencies
   - package.json (modified)
   - package-lock.json (modified)

3. docs(docs): update OAuth2 setup guide
   - docs/auth/oauth-setup.md (modified)

Proceed with this plan? [Execute plan / Single commit / Let me review]

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm before proceeding.

Step 5 — Draft Commit Messages

Every commit message MUST follow:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body — optional>

Subject: max 50 characters, imperative mood ("add" not "added")
Body: wrap at 72 characters, explain motivation/context
Scope: REQUIRED, from the allowlist — NEVER omit, NEVER invent

Step 6 — Execute Commits

⛔ HARD STOP — TRAILER RULES

THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE: Putting trailer text INSIDE the -m quotes.

# ❌ WRONG — trailer text is INSIDE the -m quotes
git commit -m "feat(auth): add feature

X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

# ✅ CORRECT — --trailer is a SEPARATE argument OUTSIDE quotes
git commit -m "feat(auth): add feature" --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

Before writing ANY git commit command, verify:

-m "..." contains ONLY the commit message (no trailer text inside)
--trailer flags are OUTSIDE and AFTER the -m parameter
Command is structured as: git commit -S -m "msg" --trailer "key: value"

Required Command Structure

git commit -S \
  -m "<type>(<scope>): <subject>" \
  -m "<body if needed>" \
  --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

For each commit group, in order:

Stage only the files for this commit:
```
git add <file1> <file2> ...
```

Create signed commit with trailer:

git commit -S \
  -m "<type>(<scope>): <subject>" \
  -m "<body if needed>" \
  --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

If GPG signing fails: check git config user.signingkey and gpg --list-secret-keys.

If no usable key is found, STOP — do NOT offer an unsigned path. Inform the user:

GPG signing is required. No usable signing key was found.

To proceed:
  1. Generate a key: gpg --gen-key
  2. Configure git:  git config --global user.signingkey <key-id>
  3. Re-run this skill.

Committing without -S is not an option — Step 7 will reject unsigned commits.

MUST wait for the user to configure a key before continuing. NEVER drop -S silently or offer "unsigned" as a fallback.

Repeat for each commit group.

Step 7 — Verify Commits

First, resolve the range ref for verification. $BASE may be provided by an orchestrating skill (e.g., ring:shipping-changes). Resolve in this order:

# 1. Upstream tracking ref (works when branch already has a remote tracking branch)
if git rev-parse @{u} >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  RANGE_REF="@{u}"

# 2. $BASE propagated by the orchestrating skill (e.g., ring:shipping-changes)
elif [ -n "$BASE" ]; then
  RANGE_REF="origin/$BASE"

# 3. Standalone: detect base branch via GitHub API
else
  BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name' 2>/dev/null \
    || git remote show origin 2>/dev/null | grep 'HEAD branch' | awk '{print $NF}')
  RANGE_REF="origin/$BASE"
fi

Then verify every commit in the batch:

git log --oneline "$RANGE_REF..HEAD"

for commit in $(git rev-list "$RANGE_REF..HEAD"); do
  # %G? returns: G=good, U=unknown-validity, X/Y=expired, B=bad, E=missing key, N=no signature
  sig_status=$(git log -1 --format="%G?" "$commit")
  echo "$sig_status" | grep -qE '^[GU]' \
    || { echo "Commit $commit: signature invalid or insufficient (status=$sig_status)"; exit 1; }
  git log -1 --format="%(trailers)" "$commit" | grep -q '^X-Lerian-Ref: ' \
    || { echo "Commit $commit: X-Lerian-Ref trailer missing"; exit 1; }
done

git status

For each commit:

Accept G (good) or U (unknown validity). Reject X/Y (expired key), B (bad signature), E (missing key), N (unsigned).
If the trailer grep fails → stop and report the missing trailer.

Why U is accepted: U means the commit is cryptographically signed with a valid key, but GPG has not established a trust chain for that key (e.g., the key was not signed by a trusted introducer). This is the normal state for freshly generated keys or keys imported from colleagues without manual trust assignment. The signature itself is valid — it proves authorship. G additionally requires GPG's web-of-trust to vouch for the key identity, which is stricter than needed for commit attribution. Both are acceptable; only unsigned (N), bad (B), missing-key (E), and expired-key (X/Y) commits are rejected.

Note: when called from ring:shipping-changes, $BASE is already resolved in Phase 0 and propagated here — the @{u} and standalone detection paths are only needed for standalone invocations.

Step 8 — Offer Push

After successful commit, ask the user:

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "Push commits to remote?",
    header: "Push",
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Push to current branch" },
      { label: "No", description: "Keep local only" }
    ]
  }]
});

If yes:

# Branch with upstream:
git push

# Branch without upstream:
git push -u origin <current-branch>

Examples

Feature commit

git commit -S \
  -m "feat(auth): add OAuth2 refresh token support" \
  -m "Implements automatic token refresh when access token expires." \
  --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

Bug fix

git commit -S \
  -m "fix(api): handle null response in user endpoint" \
  --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

Chore

git commit -S \
  -m "chore(deps): update dependencies to latest versions" \
  --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

Anti-Patterns (FORBIDDEN)

# ❌ WRONG — no scope
git commit -m "feat: add feature"

# ❌ WRONG — invented scope not in allowlist
git commit -m "feat(custom-scope): add feature"

# ❌ WRONG — trailer text inside -m
git commit -m "feat(auth): add feature

X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

# ❌ WRONG — emoji or hashtags in message body
git commit -m "feat(auth): add feature
🤖 Generated with Claude"

# ✅ CORRECT
git commit -S \
  -m "feat(auth): add feature" \
  --trailer "X-Lerian-Ref: 0x1"

Trailer Query Commands

# Find commits with specific trailer value
git log --all --format="%H %s %(trailers:key=X-Lerian-Ref,valueonly)" | grep "0x1"

# Show all trailers for a commit
git log -1 --format="%(trailers)"

When User Provides Message

If the user provides a commit message as an argument:

Use it as the subject/body
Validate it has a scope from the allowlist — if missing, ask which scope to use
Create signed commit with trailer

Anti-Rationalization Table

Rationalization	Why It's WRONG	Required Action

"No policy file, so scope is optional"	Scope is always required. Without a policy, ask the user which scope to use.	MUST ask user for scope if no policy found
"I'll commit everything at once"	Mixed changes = messy history, hard to bisect/revert.	Analyze and group changes first

Then verify every commit in the batch:

```bash
git log --oneline "$RANGE_REF..HEAD"

for commit in $(git rev-list "$RANGE_REF..HEAD"); do
  # %G? returns: G=good, U=unknown-validity, X/Y=expired, B=bad, E=missing key, N=no signature

For each commit:
- Accept `G` (good) or `U` (unknown validity). Reject `X`/`Y` (expired key), `B` (bad signature), `E` (missing key), `N` (unsigned).
