Description 724 -> 214 chars, body 1102 -> 343 words, Gotchas 12 -> 3. Create, rewrite, and cherry-pick flows move to self-contained references/ files behind a dispatch table. The audit caught that moving the secret scan into the create flow left the amend/squash path with no check in its loaded context; it is now a gate common to every flow. Also re-homes the interactive-rebase reflog warning git-history dropped, since this skill owns rebase.
git-commits
Create, amend, squash, and cherry-pick commits with Conventional Commits formatting and validation.
What it does
This skill handles commit operations within the git workflow suite. It generates well-formatted commit messages following the Conventional Commits spec, validates against commitlint config-conventional constraints, and communicates SemVer impact. It enforces confirmation gates for history-altering operations (amend, rebase, squash) and returns structured JSON output for agent consumption.
Usage
/git-commits
Describe your commit task: create a new commit, amend, squash, or cherry-pick. The skill will guide message formatting and handle confirmation for destructive operations.

Composition
Part of the git plugin's domain suite. This skill owns commit authoring and history-rewriting operations only; git-history inspects history, git-branches owns branch lifecycle, and git-workflow is the conversational entry point that routes between them.
