Push Skill

Atomic test-commit-push workflow. Catches failures before they reach the remote.

Steps

Step 1: Detect Project Type

Determine which test suites apply:

• Go: Check for go.mod (or cli/go.mod). If found, Go tests apply.
• Python: Check for requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or setup.py. If found, Python tests apply.
• Shell: Check for modified .sh files. If found, shellcheck applies (if installed).

Step 2: Run Tests

Run ALL applicable test suites. Do NOT skip any.

Go projects:

cd cli && go vet ./...
cd cli && go test ./... -count=1 -short

Run the whole suite (./...), never a -run <feature> subset. A filtered run stays green while cross-cutting tests (conformance, surface-parity) are red — they only surface at push, after you have already reported "green."

Python projects:

python -m pytest --tb=short -q

Shell scripts (if shellcheck available):

shellcheck <modified .sh files>

If ANY test fails: STOP. Fix the failures before continuing. Do not commit broken code.

Step 2.5: Run the repo's own pre-push gate + regenerate derived artifacts

go test green does not mean the push will pass. Repos with a pre-push gate also enforce derived/generated artifacts — generated CLI docs, registries, command-surface matrices, conformance trees, codex twins — that unit tests never touch. Discovering these at git push (after you reported "done") is the most common late failure.

Before staging, if the repo has any of these, run its regen + check locally:

• A gate runner / pre-push hook (run it directly, don't wait for the push).
• A derived-scope or codegen finalizer after you touched a generating source (e.g. you added a CLI command/flag, a skill, or a schema). In AgentOps: bash scripts/regen-changed-scope.sh --scope head and bash scripts/generate-cli-reference.sh; for skills, scope the codex-twin regen to your skills (scripts/regen-codex-hashes.sh --only <names>).
• Commit the regenerated artifacts with the change, not as a follow-up.

Rule of thumb: if you changed a file that generates another file, regenerate the other file now. The gate that fails is the one whose globs you didn't think your change touched.

Step 3: Stage Changes

git add <specific files>

Stage only the files relevant to the current work. Do NOT use git add -A unless the user explicitly requests it. Review untracked files and skip anything that looks like secrets, temp files, or build artifacts.

Step 4: Write Commit Message

Write a conventional commit message based on the diff:

• Use conventional commit format: type(scope): description
• Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, style, perf
• Keep subject line under 72 characters
• Focus on WHY, not WHAT

Step 5: Commit

git commit -m "<message>"

Step 6: Sync with Remote

git pull --rebase origin $(git branch --show-current)

If rebase conflicts occur: resolve them, re-run tests, then continue.

Step 7: Push

git push origin $(git branch --show-current)

Step 8: Report

Output a summary:

• Files changed count
• Tests passed (with suite names)
• Commit hash
• Branch pushed to

Guardrails

• NEVER push to main or master without explicit user confirmation
• NEVER stage files matching: .env*, *credentials*, *secret*, *.key, *.pem
• If tests were not run (no test suite found), WARN the user before committing
• If git pull --rebase fails, do NOT force push — ask the user

Examples

Pushing Changes

User says: /push

What happens:

1. Runs Go and Python tests
2. Commits with conventional message
3. Pushes to current branch

Result: Verified, committed, and pushed changes in one atomic workflow.
