Plan and execute coherent Conventional Commit groupings for tangled working tree changes — multiple intertwined logical edits that need to be split into separate, reviewable commits.

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

**Applicability is about how tangled the changes are, not how many files they touch.** Invoke this skill when the working tree mixes multiple intertwined logical changes that need untangling into separate commits — even if that's only a handful of files. Skip it when the changes are trivial or superficial, no matter how many files they touch: formatter runs, lint autofixes, typo/grammar fixes, or edits that obviously belong in a single commit.

## User direction

User instructions take precedence over this skill's grouping, review, and
approval defaults. If the user says "commit" or "approved, commit" for an
understood scope, use [stage](../stage/SKILL.md) to verify and commit that scope.
Unless the user also requests review first, do not restart planning, invoke
review skills, wait for a second opinion, or ask for approval again. This rule
also applies when the instruction arrives during the workflow below.
When project instructions require review before every commit, a commit
instruction for changes that review has not finished on since they last

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add photostructure/coding-skills/gitplan@sha256:a3af284f28da9335

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.03479a6, 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.
