Create git commits with good messages. Use when user says "commit", "create commit", or asks to commit changes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Git Commit Skill

Create a well-formatted git commit for staged changes.

## Instructions

1. **Gather information** (run in parallel):
   - `git status` - See what's staged and unstaged
   - `git diff --staged` - See exactly what will be committed
   - `git log --oneline -5` - See recent commit message style

2. **Analyze changes**:
   - What was changed? (files, functions, features)
   - Why was it changed? (bug fix, new feature, refactor)
   - Follow the repository's commit message style

3. **Draft commit message**:
   - First line: concise summary under 50 chars
   - Focus on "why" not "what"
   - Match existing commit style

4. **Execute commit**:
   - Stage relevant files if needed: `git add <files>`
   - Commit with a normal non-interactive `git commit -m` command
   - Verify with `git status`

The skill supplies procedure, not permission. Git writes and commits must pass
the agent's normal approval policy.

## Safety Rules

- Do NOT commit .env or credential files
- Do NOT use `--amend` unless explicitly asked
- Do NOT push unless explicitly asked
- If commit fails, create a NEW commit (don't amend)

## Example

```bash
git status
git diff --staged
…
