How does this differ from running git rebase -i manually?

This skill automates the process, adds safety backups, checks for unintended deletions (M238), and ensures compliance with project-specific squash policies and Task ID requirements.

How does it handle STATE.md or planning files?

The skill includes specialized logic to detect planning patterns, ensuring that the final state of progress tracking files is preserved and included in the implementation commit.

Is there a risk of losing work during a squash?

No, the skill follows a strict 'Backup-Verify-Cleanup' pattern, creating a timestamped backup branch before any operations and verifying the state before deleting the backup.

Can it handle commits in the middle of my branch history?

Yes, it intelligently detects commit positions and switches to an Interactive Rebase workflow if the targeted commits are not at the branch tip.

Automates and secures the Git commit squashing process with built-in verification and project policy adherence.

The Git Squash skill provides a robust framework for consolidating Git history while maintaining repository integrity. It intelligently selects between soft reset and interactive rebase workflows based on commit position, implements a mandatory 'Backup-Verify-Cleanup' pattern to prevent data loss, and ensures project-specific squash policies are honored. By detecting planning patterns and preserving critical metadata like Task IDs and STATE.md files, it streamlines version control for developers using AI-driven agents.
