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:

   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.

⚠️ 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.
