What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the multi-step process of committing changes inside a git submodule and updating the parent repository to reference the new submodule commit, preventing mismatched refs and manual git errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Submodule validation: Verifies the provided path is defined in .gitmodules before taking action.
  • Review before commit: Shows status and diffs for user inspection prior to staging and committing.
  • End-to-end update: Commits and pushes within the submodule, then stages and commits the updated submodule SHA in the parent repository and pushes the parent.
  • Use Case: Update a skills submodule (default .claude/skills) with local fixes, push the submodule remote, and make a single parent commit that points to the new submodule SHA.

Quick Start
