autonomous-ai-agency: Skill for Claude Code

Skill: smart-commit

When to Use

Use this skill every time you are ready to commit code. It replaces ad-hoc git add && git commit with a structured quality gate sequence.

Instructions

Step 1 — Confirm changelog is updated

git diff docs/changelog.md

If the diff is empty and this is a code change (not chore/test/docs), update docs/changelog.md under ## [Unreleased] before continuing.

Step 2 — Run tests

pytest -x

Block on failure. Do not commit with failing tests. Fix the failure first.

Step 3 — Check for obvious issues

# Syntax check staged Python files
git diff --staged --name-only | grep '\.py$' | xargs python -m py_compile

# Confirm no secrets in staged files
git diff --staged | grep -iE '(SECRET_KEY\s*=\s*["\x27][^"\x27]{8}|password\s*=\s*["\x27][^"\x27]{4}|api_key\s*=\s*["\x27]sk-)'

If any secrets are detected: stop immediately, do not commit.

Step 4 — Stage your changes

git status                          # review what changed
git diff --staged                   # confirm what's staged
git add <specific files>            # stage by name, not -A

Step 5 — Write a conventional commit message

Format: <type>(<scope>): <short description>

Type	When to Use
feat	New feature visible to users
fix	Bug fix
refactor	Code change with no behaviour change
test	Adding or updating tests
docs	Documentation only
chore	Tooling, config, dependencies
ci	CI/CD changes
style	Formatting, whitespace (no logic change)
perf	Performance improvement
security	Security fix or hardening

Examples:

feat(router): add task classification for long-context requests
fix(auth): reject tokens with empty bearer string
refactor(agent): extract planner prompt into prompts.py
security(key_store): hash keys before comparison

Step 6 — Commit

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(scope): description here

- Additional context if needed
- Reference issue if applicable
