Stage, commit, and amend changes with conventional commit messages. Covers reviewing changes, selective staging, writing descriptive commit messages using HEREDOC format, and verifying commit history. Use when saving a logical unit of work to version control, creating a commit with a conventional message, amending the most recent commit, or reviewing staged changes before committing.
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
# Commit Changes Stage files selectively, write clear commit messages, and verify commit history. ## When to Use - Saving a logical unit of work to version control - Creating a commit with a descriptive, conventional message - Amending the most recent commit (message or content) - Reviewing what will be committed before committing ## Inputs - **Required**: One or more changed files to commit - **Optional**: Commit message (will be drafted if not provided) - **Optional**: Whether to amend the previous commit - **Optional**: Co-author attribution ## Procedure ### Step 1: Review Current Changes Check working tree status and inspect diffs: ```bash # See which files are modified, staged, or untracked git status # See unstaged changes git diff # See staged changes git diff --staged ``` **Got:** A clear picture of all modified, staged, and untracked files. **If fail:** If `git status` fails, verify you are inside a git repository (`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`). ### Step 2: Stage Files Selectively Stage specific files rather than using `git add .` or `git add -A` to avoid accidentally including sensitive files or unrelated changes: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/commit-changes@sha256:5c51a6e13085c394The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
