## What it does

This skill invokes `$commit` while overriding its scoping and confirmation defaults. Instead of committing immediately, it inspects staged, unstaged, and untracked files across the entire workspace. If you specify a narrower scope, the agent respects that limit.

The workflow prevents premature changes by requiring review first. Staging before approval is blocked. Once approved, the agent executes the agreed commit sequence without asking again. The base `$commit` skill is not installed automatically: without it, this wrapper halts and requests `npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit-confirm -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/commit-confirm/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/commit-confirm/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit-confirm -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/commit-confirm/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit-confirm -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/commit-confirm/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install LegendApp/legend-skills commit-confirm
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/commit-confirm/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit-confirm -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/LegendApp/legend-skills --path commit-confirm
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/commit-confirm/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit-confirm -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/LegendApp/legend-skills/tree/HEAD/commit-confirm/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- reviewing commit plans before staging any files
- grouping tracked and untracked changes across the whole tree
- blocking automatic commits until manual confirmation
- creating multi-commit sequences after one approval

## Example prompts
- Prepare whole-tree commits with commit-confirm and wait for my review
- I approve the proposed plan, go ahead with the commits
- Run commit-confirm restricted to the edits made by this agent

# Commit Confirm

Use this wrapper only after the explicit opt-in described in the frontmatter. A normal approval-first commit request does not opt in to this skill or its whole-working-tree default.

Use this skill to run `$commit` in approval-first mode, defaulting to the whole working tree.

Before starting, load and follow `$commit`. This skill overrides its default scope and approval behavior; `$commit` owns working-tree inspection, grouping, message style, staging, committing, and reporting.

Selected installs do not install dependencies automatically. If `$commit` is not installed or available, stop before staging or committing. Tell the user to install it with:

```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill commit
```

Then ask them to retry after installation.

## Scope And Approval Override

When using `$commit`, force plan mode:

- Unless the user requests a narrower scope, use all-changes mode: inspect staged, unstaged, and untracked changes as the pool to group. Preserve explicit exclusions.
- If the user names a subset or asks for only the current agent's changes, honor that narrower scope.
- Always present a commit plan first and wait for explicit approval such as `go`.
- Do not stage or commit before approval, even if there is only one logical commit.
- After approval, create all agreed commits without asking again unless the working tree changes unexpectedly.
- Treat `go` after a previously presented plan as approval for that plan, then re-check the working tree before staging.
