Git Helpers

What it does

The Git Helpers skill automates common Git workflows, including committing changes, reviewing code, summarizing changes for pull requests, creating and pushing branches, and finishing branches (merging). Each step in the workflow is independent and can be used individually or chained together. The skill emphasizes clear explanations and helpful suggestions throughout these processes, adhering to conventional commit practices and project-specific guidelines.

When to use it

• To streamline your Git commit process with suggested messages and confirmation previews.
• When you need automated code review and adherence to project coding standards.
• For generating pull request descriptions based on change summaries.
• To simplify branch creation, pushing, and merging workflows.
• To automate cleanup tasks after a branch is merged.

Key capabilities

• Commit Automation: Creates commit messages with previews and confirmation steps.
• Code Review: Reviews code changes and provides feedback based on confidence scores (>= 80%).
• Pull Request Summarization: Generates PR descriptions including impact assessments.
• Branch Management: Handles branch creation, pushing, and merging operations.

Tips & gotchas

• The skill requires the gh CLI to be installed. If it's not present, the agent will inform you.
• The code review process loads guidelines-audit.md automatically as part of its workflow.
• Commit messages should use the imperative mood and prefer single lines unless complex or breaking changes are involved.
