# Review the story before committing

Commits somebody can review without reading everything

## What this does

You have finished a chunk of work and now have to turn it into commits somebody can review. This plans them as self-contained units, with the tests and docs sitting alongside the code they belong to. Reach for it before you start committing, or when a change needs splitting.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Plan commits before you start implementing
- Split a finished change into commits
- Keep tests and docs with the code they cover

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Review the story before committing

This skill plans commits as reviewable work units.

It applies while you are implementing, when commits need splitting, when the work is going out as chained pull requests, and to keeping tests and docs with the code.

## Questions

### Is Review the story before committing safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Review the story before committing and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 47330fbcf42d, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/work-unit-commits.

### How do I install Review the story before committing?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/work-unit-commits on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai/tree/47330fbcf42d71dbca2a4f74c2211fc5994082b3/skills/work-unit-commits. Install from that link, not the branch.
