What happens if a pre-commit hook fails?

The skill is designed to manage hooks by stashing unstaged changes or re-adding files modified by auto-formatters, ensuring a successful commit without leaving the working directory in a messy state.

How does it handle complex git staging?

It can perform hunk-by-hunk staging by creating and applying patches, allowing for logical grouping even when multiple changes exist within the same file.

Does this skill modify my code while committing?

No. The skill follows a strict 'Critical Rule' where it only stages and commits your existing code as-is. If it spots an error, it will report it to you after the commit is made rather than fixing it silently.

Does it support co-authorship attribution?

Yes, it automatically includes Co-Authored-By footers for Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini models to maintain proper contribution tracking.

Automates the creation of clean, atomic git commits while maintaining strict version control hygiene and logical change grouping.

The Atomic Git Commits skill transforms Claude into a specialized version control assistant that ensures every commit represents a single, coherent modification. It adheres to a strict 'Critical Rule'—acting as a committer rather than a coder—to ensure the author's work is never silently modified during staging. By analyzing changes through git status and diffs, the skill intelligently groups modifications into structural, behavioral, or documentation categories, applies conventional commit formatting, and handles complex scenarios like pre-commit hook failures and hunk-by-hunk staging.
