Pre-Commit Review

Trigger: use when the user asks for a commit-readiness review in phases (source, tests, commit-message prep).

Run phases sequentially. Do not auto-advance from one phase to the next. After each phase:

• Present findings.
• Pause for user-directed fixes/discussion.
• Continue to the next phase only when the user asks to proceed.

Phase 1: Source Review

• Start by enumerating the full current worktree (staged, unstaged, and untracked files).
• Treat the full worktree as the primary review scope, not only the most recent edits.
• Review source changes in that scope exhaustively.
• Read full files for changed files and tangentially related files as needed to validate behavior.
• Focus on bugs, regressions, race conditions, broken UX, contract breaks, and risky side effects.
• Use concrete evidence from code paths and call sites, not speculation.

Phase 2: Test Review

• Review changed tests in the worktree exhaustively.
• Review the broader existing test suite for drift against current behavior.
• Identify stale tests worth removing, missing coverage worth adding, and mismatches between tests and intended behavior.
• Call out whether test gaps are commit-blocking or safe to defer.

Phase 3: Commit-Prep Output

• Produce commit message options in common commit style based on shipped behavior/features.
• After the user selects one commit message option, provide a commit description/body for that selected option.
• Do not mention planning artifacts (.agents/*, ExecPlans, continuity files) in commit text.
• Do not execute git commit; provide message options and let the user run the commit.

Phase-Gated Output Format

Only output sections for the current phase. Never output future-phase sections. Never output placeholder none lines for phases that have not run yet.

Phase 1 response:

1. Phase 1 Findings (Source Review)
2. Must-fix before Phase 2
3. Safe to defer
4. Gate status with: Phase 1 complete. Ask me to proceed to Phase 2 (test review) when ready.

Phase 2 response:

1. Phase 2 Findings (Test Review)
2. Must-fix before commit
3. Safe to defer
4. Gate status with: Phase 2 complete. Ask me to proceed to Phase 3 (commit prep) when ready.

Phase 3 response (step A):

1. Commit message options
2. Gate status with: Select one option number and I will provide the commit description.

Phase 3 response (step B, after user selects an option):

1. Selected commit message
2. Commit description
3. Gate status with: Commit message package ready. I will not run git commit.

Formatting rules:

• Every finding/proposal is a numbered item on its own line.
• Never combine multiple findings into one numbered line.
• Prefix each finding with severity: [critical], [high], [medium], or [low].
• Include a file reference for each code/test finding when applicable.
• If a current-phase findings section has no items, write exactly 1. none.

Commit message option rules:

• Provide 2-4 options.
• Use type(scope): summary style.
• Keep each option to one line.
• After the user picks an option, provide a commit description body with 3-6 concise bullet lines focused on shipped behavior and key file-level changes.
• Never execute git commit as part of this skill.
