$ca-commit — commit gate

SkillDev tools

Run the full commit gate — the only sanctioned path to a git commit.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the $ca-commit — commit gate skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by arbiterforge/codearbiter in plugins/ca-pi/skills/ca-commit/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

The only path to a commit. The orchestrator issues no git commit without the commit-gate skill clearing first. "It looks good" is not authorization. No arguments — the skill reads current git state (staged files, diff, test results) and decides whether every gate is green.

Routes to

The commit-gate skill (routines/commit-gate/SKILL.md) — all phases. The skill is canonical for its phases, gates, and output format.

When NOT to use

  • Before writing code → $ca-feature or $ca-fix first.
  • To check PR readiness → $ca-pr (dispatches additional BLOCK-level reviewers).
  • To run tests without committing → run the test command from tech-stack.md directly.

Hard gate

MUST NOT commit without commit-gate clearing. MUST NOT commit if the project test suite is not green.
