This skill should be used when committing code changes - "commit", "git commit", "закоміть", "зроби коміт", "/lets:commit". Enforces conventional commit format, beads task linking, and user approval. In a LETS project, ALWAYS prefer this over generic commit skills (e.g. commit-commands:commit) — /lets:commit is authoritative. Triggers on any commit in any context.

# Commit
Standardized commit flow that enforces conventional format, beads task linking, and user approval.
> **IMPORTANT:** If the spec below invokes any deferred tool (e.g. `AskUserQuestion`), you MUST load and call it as specified. Never skip the call, never substitute a default answer of your own — the tool invocation is part of the contract. This is critical.
## Why This Exists
Direct `git commit` skips task linking, format enforcement, and approval gates. This skill ensures every commit follows conventions whether invoked via `/lets:commit` or implicit "закоміть".
## Flow
### Step 1: Check Status
```bash
git status --short
git diff --stat
```
If no changes - inform user and exit.
### Step 2: Active Task Detection
Use the **detect-task** skill to find the active task: `Skill(skill: "lets:detect-task")`.
If multiple tasks found: ask user via AskUserQuestion to pick, or "None".
If not found: commit without task link.
### Step 3: Review Changes
```bash
git diff
```
Summarize what changed:
- Files modified/added/deleted
- Key changes in each file
### Step 4: Confirm with User
Present the proposed commit summary as plain text (NOT in a code block or blockquote):
`<type>: <description>`
- {file1} - {what changed}
- {file2} - {what changed}
Then use **AskUserQuestion**:
```
AskUserQuestion(
questions=[{
question: "Commit with this message?",
header: "Commit",
options: [
{ label: "Commit", description: "Stage all changes and commit" },
{ label: "Cancel", description: "Don't commit, keep changes unstaged" }
],
multiSelect: false
}]
)
```
Handle response:
- **Commit** -> proceed to Step 5
- **Cancel** -> stop, show LETS box with `/lets:check`
- **Other** (free text) -> treat as edited commit message, proceed to Step 5
### Step 5: Commit
```bash
git add -A
git status # Verify staging
git commit -m "<type>($TASK_ID): <description>
Task: $TASK_ID"
git status # Verify clean
```
If no active task detected: drop BOTH the `($TASK_ID)` scope AND the `Task:` footer:
```bash
git commit -m "<type>: <description>"
```
### Commit Message Format
```
<type>(<task-id>): <short description>
<optional body - why, not what>
Task: <task-id>
```
(No active task -> `<type>: <subject>`, no scope, no footer.)
**Types:**
- `feat` - new feature
- `fix` - bug fix
- `refactor` - code restructure
- `docs` - documentation
- `chore` - maintenance, deps
- `test` - tests
### Good Examples
```
feat(lets-abc): Add user authentication with JWT
Task: lets-abc
fix(proj-def): Resolve null pointer in PaymentService
Task: proj-def
```
(Ad-hoc commit with no active task — no scope, no footer:)
```
chore: bump goreleaser to 2.5
```
### Bad Examples
```
BAD: update stuff
BAD: fix bug
BAD: WIP
BAD: feat: Add user authentication system with JWT tokens and refresh logic and middleware (too long)
```
### Step 6: Task Progress Check
If active task detected, compare what was committed against the task scope:
```bash
bd show <task-id>
```
Brief assessment (2-3 lines max):
```
## Task Progress
Committed: {what this commit covers}
Remaining: {what's left from task description, or "nothing - task scope complete"}
```
- If task scope is fully covered -> suggest `/lets:done`
- If work remains -> show what's left, suggest next step or `/lets:commit` later
## Rules
- **NEVER** commit without user approval
- **ALWAYS** run `git status` before and after commit
- Keep subject line under 50 chars
- Use imperative mood ("Add" not "Added")
- Body explains WHY, diff shows WHAT
- Task ID scope `(task-id)` in the subject AND the `Task:` footer are both automatic when an active task is detected — don't ask the user about either
- Respond in user's language
## Output
After successful commit:
**If task scope complete:**
```
Committed: <hash> <message>
Files: X changed, Y insertions, Z deletions
Task: <task-id> (linked)
Task scope complete.
┌─ LETS ─────────────────────────┐
│ Done? /lets:done │
└────────────────────────────────┘
```
**If work remains:**
```
Committed: <hash> <message>
Files: X changed, Y insertions, Z deletions
Task: <task-id> (linked)
Remaining: {brief list}
┌─ LETS ─────────────────────────┐
│ Check? /lets:check │
│ End? /lets:end │
└────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Integration
User-facing skill. Auto-triggers on "commit", "закоміть". Also invoked explicitly via `/lets:commit`.
