openclaw skills install proper-git-commitSmart git commit with remote sync, amend intelligence, and conventional commits. Use when the user asks to commit changes, stage and commit, "/commit", save work to git, push code, or sync and commit. Automatically checks remote for new commits before committing and syncs via rebase if needed. Analyzes whether current changes should amend the previous commit (with strict same-thing criteria). Generates conventional commit messages with agent/model info in the footer. TRIGGER this skill whenever the user mentions committing, staging changes, or saving work to version control — even if they just say "commit this" or "save my changes".
openclaw skills install proper-git-commitCommit local changes safely: sync remote → analyze diff → stage → amend or new commit → push (if asked).
git fetch origin 2>&1
Then check if the remote branch has commits the local branch doesn't:
git status -sb # shows tracking info, e.g. ## main...origin/main [behind 3]
git rev-list HEAD..@{u} --count 2>/dev/null # 0 means in sync
If the remote is ahead (count > 0): sync via rebase:
git pull --rebase origin <current-branch>
Watch the output for conflict markers. If the rebase fails or conflicts are reported:
git rebase --abort
Then stop everything and tell the user:
⚠️ Remote conflict — commit aborted
Remote has new commits that conflict with your local changes. The rebase was aborted automatically to keep your work safe.
To see which files conflict:
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=UTo resolve and continue:
# 1. Re-run the rebase git pull --rebase # 2. Open each conflicted file and fix the markers: # <<<<<<< HEAD ← your local changes # (your code) # ======= # (remote code) # >>>>>>> abc1234 ← remote commit # 3. Stage each resolved file git add <file1> <file2> ... # 4. Continue the rebase git rebase --continue # 5. Repeat steps 2–4 for each conflicted commit, then run /commit againTo abort and restore your original state:
git rebase --abort # already done — your branch is back to where it was
Do not proceed with staging or committing. Wait for the user to resolve.
If the rebase succeeds (no conflicts), continue.
git status --porcelain # list of changed files
git diff --staged # staged diff
git diff # unstaged diff
If nothing is staged and there are unstaged changes, stage everything that looks relevant (avoid committing secrets like .env, *.pem, credentials.*):
git add -A # or specific files — use judgment
If there is truly nothing to commit, tell the user and stop.
Compare the current staged diff against the last commit to decide: new commit or --amend?
git log -1 --format="%H %s" # last commit hash + subject
git show --stat HEAD # files changed in last commit
git show HEAD # full diff of last commit
git log origin/<branch>..HEAD --oneline # commits not yet pushed
Only amend if ALL of the following are true:
git log origin/<branch>..HEAD).Do NOT amend in any of these cases:
| Situation | Why |
|---|---|
Last commit is feat:, this is fix: | Different type → different thing |
Last commit is feat:, this adds tests | test: is a separate concern |
Last commit is feat:, this reformats code | style: is a separate concern |
Last commit is feat:, this updates config/CI | Different type |
| Last commit has already been pushed | Rewriting published history is dangerous |
Scope differs (e.g., auth vs user) | Different areas |
When in doubt, create a new commit. The amend path is the exception, not the rule.
Analyze the staged diff to determine:
| Type | Use for |
|---|---|
feat | New feature or behavior |
fix | Bug fix |
docs | Documentation only |
style | Formatting, whitespace (no logic change) |
refactor | Code restructure (no feature or fix) |
perf | Performance improvement |
test | Add or update tests |
build | Build system, dependencies |
ci | CI/CD, pipeline configuration |
chore | Maintenance, misc tooling |
revert | Revert a prior commit |
Always append agent and model info in the footer. Use what's available from the environment:
