+name: git-commit
+description: Use whenever preparing, reviewing, amending, rewording, or executing a git commit. Enforces Conventional Commits with a scoped header and a semantic diff-backed body.
+---
+
+# Git commit message protocol
+
+Use this skill before staging files or drafting a commit message. Override the
+default preference for brief commit messages. The message must explain the
+change well enough to understand the commit without opening its diff.
+
+## Inspect before staging
+
+Always run the following before `git add`:
+
+```sh
+git status --short --branch
+git diff --check
+git log --oneline -10
+```
+
+If the current context does not already describe every worktree change well
+enough to prepare the commit, also run `git diff --stat` and `git diff`.
+`git diff` does not include untracked files, so read every untracked path shown
+by `git status`. A summary may substitute for the actual changes when it
+provides enough context to prepare the commit. Do not re-read changes that are
+already known from the current context.
+
+Treat this inspection as a semantic diff check. Identify:
+
+- The user-visible or operational behavior that changed.
+- The reason the old behavior was unsafe, incorrect, or insufficient.
+- The formats, protocols, persistent data, or external interfaces affected.
+- Tests and compatibility handling that define the new contract.
+- Unrelated changes that require a separate commit, unless the user explicitly
+  requests one commit containing everything.
+
+Do not stage until this check is complete. Never infer the commit body from
+the task description alone.
+
+## Message structure
+
+Use this exact shape:
+
+```text
+<type>(<scope>): <imperative description>
+
+- <why this change is needed and what behavior now differs>
+- <another concrete behavior, contract, or compatibility detail>
+```
+
+The header is mandatory and follows Conventional Commits:
+
+- `type` is one of `feat`, `fix`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `docs`, `build`,
+  `ci`, `chore`, or `revert`.
+- `scope` is mandatory. Use the narrowest stable subsystem that describes the
+  whole commit, such as `mirror`, `server`, `config`, or `release`. Use a
+  project-level scope only when no subsystem is honest.
+- The description uses imperative mood, starts lowercase, has no trailing
+  period, and names the behavior rather than the files.
+- Keep the header at 72 characters or fewer when practical. Never make it
+  vague to satisfy the limit.
+
+The body is mandatory:
+
+- Insert one blank line after the header.
+- Use `- ` bullets.
+- State WHY the change exists and WHAT behavior or contract changed.
+- Name affected repository formats, protocols, configuration keys, failure
+  modes, or persisted state when they matter.
+- Do not narrate implementation steps or list filenames.
+- Do not add a generic test-results bullet. Include tests only when a fixture,
+  regression, or external compatibility case defines the behavior.
+- Avoid vague text such as "update files", "fix bugs", "improve handling",
+  or "add support" without naming the exact support.
+
+Use a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer when the commit breaks a public contract. Add
+issue footers only when an issue or ticket is known.
+
+## Verify after staging
+
+After staging, always run:
+
+```sh
+git status --short
+git diff --cached --check
+```
+
+If the current context does not already describe the staged changes well
+enough to verify the commit message, also run `git diff --cached --stat` and
+`git diff --cached`.
+
+Confirm that the staged semantic diff matches every claim in the message and
+that every significant staged behavior appears in the body. Rewrite the
+message when the staged diff and draft disagree.
+
+Before committing, check recent history for repository-specific scope and
+wording conventions. Repository convention may refine type or scope names,
+but it does not remove the scoped header or body requirements in this skill.
+
+## Example
+
+```text
+feat(mirror): verify repository OpenPGP signatures
+
+- Reject RPM, Debian, and Arch metadata that fails the configured signature policy before its checksums or package paths are trusted.
+- Preserve the last verified repository generation when signatures rotate inconsistently or required package files remain unavailable.
+- Allow operators to pin signer keyrings or retrieve unknown issuers from configured keyservers, including archived GnuPG v1 RSA signatures.
