// install — copy + paste into any project

mkdir -p .claude/skills && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coalesce-labs/catalyst/HEAD/plugins/dev/skills/ci-commit/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/ci-commit.md

Drops the SKILL.md into .claude/skills/ci-commit.md. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any agent that loads SKILL.md files from .claude/skills/.

CI Commit

Create git commits autonomously without user interaction. Designed for CI pipelines, automated workflows, and non-interactive contexts.

Key Differences from /commit

  • No user confirmation — commits immediately
  • No interactive prompts — fully autonomous
  • Conventional commit format — maintained for consistency
  • Safety checks — never commits sensitive files or thoughts/

Session Tracking

SESSION_SCRIPT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/catalyst-session.sh"
if [[ -x "$SESSION_SCRIPT" ]]; then
  CATALYST_SESSION_ID=$("$SESSION_SCRIPT" start --skill "ci-commit" \
    --ticket "${TICKET_ID:-}" \
    --workflow "${CATALYST_SESSION_ID:-}")
  export CATALYST_SESSION_ID
fi

Process

1. Analyze Changes

# Check for changes
git status --porcelain
git diff --cached --name-only
git diff --name-only

If no changes exist, end the session and exit silently:

if [[ -n "${CATALYST_SESSION_ID:-}" && -x "$SESSION_SCRIPT" ]]; then
  "$SESSION_SCRIPT" end "$CATALYST_SESSION_ID" --status done
fi

No changes to commit.

2. Safety Filters

NEVER commit these files:

  • thoughts/ directory (persistent context, managed separately)
  • .env, .env.* files (secrets)
  • *.secret, *.key, *.pem files
  • .claude/ configuration files
  • Files matching patterns in .gitignore

NEVER commit dummy or test artifacts:

  • Files named test_*, dummy_*, temp_* in non-test directories
  • Empty placeholder files

3. Auto-detect Commit Components

Type detection:

  • Only *.md files in docs/ → docs
  • Only test files → test
  • Only package.json, *.lock → build
  • Only .github/workflows/ → ci
  • Bug fix context → fix
  • Otherwise → feat or chore based on context

Scope detection:

  • Parse changed file paths to determine scope
  • Use directory-based scoping (e.g., agents, commands, scripts)
  • Cross-cutting changes → empty scope

Ticket extraction:

  • Extract from branch name: {PREFIX}-{NUMBER}
  • Add as Refs: TICKET-123 in footer

4. Generate and Execute Commit

# Stage only safe files
git add [specific files, never -A or .]

# Create commit with conventional format
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<type>(<scope>): <summary>

<body explaining what changed and why>

Refs: TICKET-123
EOF
)"

5. Report Result

git log --oneline -n 1
git show --stat HEAD

6. End Session

if [[ -n "${CATALYST_SESSION_ID:-}" && -x "$SESSION_SCRIPT" ]]; then
  "$SESSION_SCRIPT" end "$CATALYST_SESSION_ID" --status done
fi

Important

  • NEVER add co-author information or Claude attribution
  • NEVER commit thoughts/ directory
  • NEVER use git add -A or git add .
  • NEVER prompt the user — this is fully autonomous
  • Keep commits atomic and focused
  • Use conventional commit format for changelog generation
