Stage only the part of the current Git working copy changes which belongs to a topic, to the last `CHANGELOG.md` entry, to the last turn, or to the entire session, by picking and, if necessary, splitting hunks, check that the staged state builds on its own, and optionally chain into ChangeLog updating and commit message crafting. Use when the user calls to "stage" only a part of the changes, like "the hunks related to" a topic or "the last turn".
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.

<objective>
*Stage* only the part of the current Git working copy changes which
belongs to a *selection* -- a topic, the last `CHANGELOG.md` entry, the
last turn, or the entire session -- by picking and, if necessary,
*splitting* hunks, and *check* that the staged state builds on its own.
</objective>
Procedure
---------
Throughout the entire skill, you *MUST* *NEVER* modify the *content* of
any working copy file yourself: only the Git *index* is changed, the
working copy is only *temporarily* stashed and restored by STEP 4, and
only the chained `ase-repo-changelog` skill of STEP 5 may edit a file.
Whenever this skill *stops early* after STEP 1.5, first *undo* the
intent-to-add marks of all files of <intent-files/> which carry no
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add rse/ase/ase-repo-stage@sha256:d3f76f7859dca756The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.ff5cb6c, 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.
