About This Skill

# Gitai Automation - AI-Powered Git Workflow

> Transform your development workflow with intelligent, automated commit management.

  • 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:
  2. ```bash
  3. command -v gitai
  4. ```
  5. IF MISSING, STOP immediately and inform the user:
  6. > "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."
  7. CHECK if `~/.gitai` exists.
  8. IF MISSING, STOP immediately and inform the user:
  9. > "The `gitai` tool is installed but not configured. Please run `gitai` in your terminal to complete the setup."
  1. 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`.
