Push Skill

Atomic test-commit-push workflow. Catches failures before they reach the remote.

Steps

Step 1: Detect Project Type

Determine which test suites apply:

• Go: Check for go.mod (or cli/go.mod). If found, Go tests apply.
• Python: Check for requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or setup.py. If found, Python tests apply.
• Shell: Check for modified .sh files. If found, shellcheck applies (if installed).

Step 2: Run Tests

Run ALL applicable test suites. Do NOT skip any.

Go projects:

cd cli && go vet ./...
cd cli && go test ./... -count=1 -short

Python projects:

python -m pytest --tb=short -q

Shell scripts (if shellcheck available):

shellcheck <modified .sh files>

If ANY test fails: STOP. Fix the failures before continuing. Do not commit broken code.

Step 3: Stage Changes

git add <specific files>

Stage only the files relevant to the current work. Do NOT use git add -A unless the user explicitly requests it. Review untracked files and skip anything that looks like secrets, temp files, or build artifacts.

Step 4: Write Commit Message

Write a conventional commit message based on the diff:

• Use conventional commit format: type(scope): description
• Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, style, perf
• Keep subject line under 72 characters
• Focus on WHY, not WHAT

Step 5: Commit

git commit -m "<message>"

Step 6: Sync with Remote

git pull --rebase origin $(git branch --show-current)

If rebase conflicts occur: resolve them, re-run tests, then continue.

Step 7: Push

git push origin $(git branch --show-current)

Step 8: Report

Output a summary:

• Files changed count
• Tests passed (with suite names)
• Commit hash
• Branch pushed to

Guardrails

• NEVER push to main or master without explicit user confirmation
• NEVER stage files matching: .env*, *credentials*, *secret*, *.key, *.pem
• If tests were not run (no test suite found), WARN the user before committing
• If git pull --rebase fails, do NOT force push — ask the user

Examples

Pushing Changes

User says: /push

What happens:

1. Runs Go and Python tests
2. Commits with conventional message
3. Pushes to current branch

Result: Verified, committed, and pushed changes in one atomic workflow.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Fix
Tests fail	Code has errors	Fix failing tests before retrying
Push rejected	Remote has new commits	Pull and rebase, then retry
No changes to commit	Working tree is clean	Make changes first
