What happens if there are merge conflicts during the push?

The skill performs a 'git pull --rebase' before pushing. If a conflict occurs that cannot be automatically resolved, it will stop and report the specific error to the user for manual intervention.

Is the Beads issue sync mandatory?

No. The skill checks for the presence of the 'bd' tool or a '.beads/' directory; if they are not found, it skips the sync step silently.

What does 'Landing the Plane' mean in Git?

Landing the plane is a disciplined workflow where a developer ensures all work from a session is committed, pushed to the remote, and the local repository is left in a perfectly clean state.

Does this skill handle sensitive files like .env?

Yes, the skill is programmed to automatically exclude .env files, credentials, secrets, and large binary files from being staged to prevent accidental security leaks.

How are the commit messages generated?

The skill analyzes the file diffs and the conversation context from your current session to create a meaningful, descriptive commit message rather than a generic one.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the end-of-session Git workflow by staging, committing, and pushing changes to ensure a clean repository state.

Inspired by Steve Yegge's 'Landing the Plane' workflow, this skill streamlines the process of wrapping up a coding session by systematically handling all necessary Git operations. It intelligently stages relevant files while excluding sensitive data or large binaries, syncs issue states via Beads, generates descriptive commit messages based on your session context, and ensures all work is successfully pushed to the remote repository. This skill is essential for developers who want to maintain a consistent development history and ensure no work is left dangling or un-pushed at the end of the day.
