¬ just serendipity 🍀 (not just serendipity)

Problem statement: I often type commit (only) what you changed in coding agent harnesses. Can I make an abbreviation out of it?

Pi turns a Markdown file in ~/.pi/agent/prompts/ into a /slash command. This one gives me /commit:

---
description: Commit files changed in this turn without pushing
---
Commit what you changed (only). DO NOT push.

% find ~/.pi/agent/prompts -maxdepth 1 -type f -print -exec sh -c 'printf "%s\n" "--- $1"; cat "$1"' _ {} \;
/Users/thiago.perrotta/.pi/agent/prompts/commit.md
--- /Users/thiago.perrotta/.pi/agent/prompts/commit.md

In Pi, a prompt template is fixed prompt expansion. It is right for a short, stable request:

Prompt templates are Markdown snippets that expand into full prompts. Type /name in the editor to invoke a template, where name is the filename without .md.

A skill is a capability package. Its description is available at startup, but Pi loads its SKILL.md only when task matches or I run /skill:name. A skill can carry scripts, references, setup, and a workflow that branches on state:

Skills are self-contained capability packages that the agent loads on-demand. A skill provides specialized workflows, setup instructions, helper scripts, and reference documentation for specific tasks.

A commit flow with checks, generated files, partial staging rules, or project specific policy deserves a skill. This one is a couple of words and one constraint, so I choose to keep it simple. ∎
