AI Review
Scored 54 for clear prerequisites-first design and multi-LLM cross-platform coverage. The fatal weakness is the YAML description — pure marketing copy with zero trigger phrases means Claude can't decide when to load it. The workflow itself is lean (pre-check + 1 command), which limits instruction quality.

# Gitai Automation - AI-Powered Git Workflow
> **Transform your development workflow with intelligent, automated commit management.**
Gitai analyzes your code changes to generate precise, descriptive commit messages following the **Conventional Commits** standard. It eliminates the friction of writing commit messages, ensuring a clean, semantic, and professional git history automatically.
**Key capabilities:**
- **Universal Language Support**: Analyzes Node.js, Python, Java, Go, PHP, and more.
- **Multi-LLM Support**: Choose your preferred AI brain—OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude), or Groq.
- **Workflow Automation**: Stages, commits, and pushes changes in a single command.
- **Standardized History**: Enforces consistency across your project's version history.

## 📦 Prerequisites (MANDATORY)
This skill requires the `@notyped/gitai` CLI tool to be installed and configured on the system **BEFORE** the agent can operate.
**The AGENT MUST NOT attempt to install this package or configure it.**
1. **CHECK** if `gitai` is available:
```bash
command -v gitai
```
2. **IF MISSING**, STOP immediately and inform the user:
> "The `gitai` CLI tool is not installed. Please install it globally (e.g., `npm install -g @notyped/gitai`) and configure it before using this skill."
3. **CHECK** if `~/.gitai` exists.
4. **IF MISSING**, STOP immediately and inform the user:
> "The `gitai` tool is installed but not configured. Please run `gitai` in your terminal to complete the setup."
5. **ONLY PROCEED** if both checks pass.
## 🚀 Usage & Workflows
### Command Structure
Based on `gitai --help`:
```bash
gitai [options] [projectPath] [baseMessage]
```
**Arguments:**
- `projectPath`: The path to the project (default: ".").
- `baseMessage`: The base commit message (Optional).
**Options:**
- `-p, --push`: Whether to push after committing (default: false).
- `-V, --version`: Output the version number.
- `-h, --help`: Display help for command.
### Standard Workflows
| Command | Action Description |
|---------|--------------------|
| `gitai . ''` | Analyzes current folder, Generates message and commits |
| `gitai . '' --push` | Analyzes current folder, Generates message, commits, AND pushes to remote |
| `gitai ./frontend 'ui update'` | Analyzes only the `./frontend` directory, Generates message and commits |
### Verification
Check which version of Gitai is currently active:
```bash
gitai --version
```

## ⚠️ Troubleshooting
- **Interactive Wizard Hangs**: If `gitai` hangs waiting for input, it means `~/.gitai` is missing or invalid. create the file manually as described in Step 2.
- **Node Version Error**: Ensure Node.js 18+ is active (`node -v`).
- **API Errors**: Check the `API_KEY` in `~/.gitai`.
