Create one local commit for a completed, validated, and reviewed unit of work. Use only when the user explicitly requests a commit without pushing or other delivery actions.

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

# Phase Commit

Create one isolated local commit without changing history or external state.

## Workflow

1. Confirm required repository checks and applicable validation and review cover the exact intended content.
2. Inspect status, staged and unstaged changes, and relevant untracked files; preserve all unrelated user work.
3. Stop when scope is ambiguous or includes sensitive, unexpectedly generated, or otherwise unsafe paths.
4. Stage only explicit paths with `git add -- <paths>`; never use broad staging commands or globs.
5. Review the staged path list and diff against the requested unit. If the unit mixes a behavior-preserving restructuring with a behavior change, say so and offer two commits; commit them together only if the user keeps one.
6. Draft the commit subject and body using repository conventions. Without a convention, write a short imperative subject and a body that states the problem, the change, and why. Then use `text-improve` without changing technical meaning.
7. Commit without bypassing hooks or changing signing policy.
8. Verify the created commit with `git show --stat HEAD` and the remaining worktree with `git status --short`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yarlson/yarstack/phase-commit@sha256:0e8aaf4b6c0443fc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.2f2e03b, 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.
