Speckit Git Commit

Git Commit Skill

Auto-Commit Changes

Automatically stage and commit all changes after a Spec Kit command completes.

Behavior

This command is invoked as a hook after (or before) core commands. It:

1. Determines the event name from the hook context (e.g., if invoked as an after_specify hook, the event is after_specify; if before_plan, the event is before_plan)
2. Checks .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml for the auto_commit section
3. Looks up the specific event key to see if auto-commit is enabled
4. Falls back to auto_commit.default if no event-specific key exists
5. Uses the per-command message if configured, otherwise a default message
6. If enabled and there are uncommitted changes, runs git add . + git commit

Execution

Determine the event name from the hook that triggered this command, then run the script:

• Bash: .specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/auto-commit.sh
• PowerShell: .specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/auto-commit.ps1

Replace ` with the actual hook event (e.g., afterspecify, beforeplan, after_implement`).

Configuration

In .specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml:

auto_commit:
  default: false # Global toggle — set true to enable for all commands
  after_specify:
    enabled: true # Override per-command
    message: '[Spec Kit] Add specification'
  after_plan:
    enabled: false
    message: '[Spec Kit] Add implementation plan'

Graceful Degradation

• If Git is not available or the current directory is not a repository: skips with a warning
• If no config file exists: skips (disabled by default)
• If no changes to commit: skips with a message
