(grim:dev:git-commit-decanter): (Git Commit Decanter): Use this for most commit planning, hunk staging, cleanup, and history-shaping git workflows. Do not auto-route simple read-only status/log/diff checks unless commit chunking or history surgery is actually in scope.

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 Decanter

Decant one monster diff into clean, settled chunks.

Grim workflow layer on top of [git-surgeon](https://github.com/raine/git-surgeon): non-interactive hunk-level git operations for precise staging, splitting, and history shaping.

Upstream CLI: `git-surgeon` (currently tested against `0.1.17+`).

## Invocation Scope

Use this skill for most git workflows that involve:
- planning commits
- staging or splitting hunks
- cleaning up a dirty tree
- amending, folding, squashing, reordering, or otherwise shaping history
- preparing a reviewable commit stack

Do not invoke it for simple read-only `git status`, `git log`, `git show`, or `git diff` checks unless the user is asking about commit structure, cleanup, or history work.

## Default Workflow (Plan First, Then Commit After Approval)

Default behavior when the user invokes this skill:
- inspect the current branch's uncommitted changes
- split them into a proposed stack of small, easily reviewable commits
- present a numbered commit list for user approval
- only execute the plan after the user approves it

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mindgoblinstudios/grim-tome/grim:dev:git-commit-decanter@sha256:afbb6294f61e7a8c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.f7d7117, 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.
