What problem does it solve?
This skill provides a disciplined approach to software commits by ensuring a clear separation between structural changes (tidying/refactoring) and behavioral changes (new features or bug fixes). It prevents mixing concerns in a single commit and promotes a clean, auditable history.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pure structural commits: Move and rename code, refactor helpers, and reorganize modules without altering behavior.
- Pure behavioral commits: Add features or fix bugs without changing structure.
- Guided workflow: Provides rules and templates for committing in two decisive steps (structural then behavioral) and validation before merging.
Quick Start
Start by tidying a module impacted by a planned feature, commit all structural changes, then implement the feature and commit the behavioral changes separately.
