Is it better to use this for creating multiple related files?

No. For multiple related files that should belong to the same commit, it is better to use the traditional workflow to avoid creating fragmented commit histories.

Does this skill work with scripts that need to be executable?

Yes, it includes an optional flag to automatically apply executable permissions (chmod +x) during the creation and commit process.

Can I use this skill to update existing files?

No, this skill is specifically designed for creating new files. To modify existing code, you should use the standard Edit tool.

How much faster is the Write and Commit skill compared to standard commands?

It is 60-75% faster, reducing the typical 20-30 second multi-step process to just 5-8 seconds by minimizing LLM round-trips.

What happens if the Git commit fails?

The skill includes safety features where the file is still created and staged, allowing you to manually resolve issues or revert the staged change if necessary.
