commit-next	Check every branch for the staged fix, commit the staged bundle with --no-verify, then stage and brief the next bundle. Trigger on /commit-next or when the operator asks to commit and stage the next bundle in one step.

1. git fetch --all --prune --tags, then hunt the staged fix across every ref with the merge-fix skill's find_fix.py (by --grep, by -S, by --path). Describe the staged bundle in one line first so a wrong search intent is visible. Only the search runs here — never cherry-pick or merge, and never touch the staging index or the tree.
2. A similar fix on another branch is a stop: run the dialectic skill on the two candidates (staged version as thesis, foreign commit as antithesis) until one survives, then present sha, branch, both diffs, the verdict and the recommended move (keep staged / take theirs / combine). Wait for the operator's decision; do not commit.
3. Nothing similar found, or the operator picked the staged version: run the commit-no-verify skill on the currently staged changes (comments-clean audit and advocate check first, then git commit --no-verify, exact staging index only).
4. Group the remaining uncommitted changes into logical bundles (one concern per bundle: same failure class, same mechanism, or same role) and stage the next one; never mix concerns to save a commit. Staging happens here and nowhere else: never stage merely to run a lint or a test. Repository checks that enumerate through git ls-files already see tracked, modified files and read the worktree; only an untracked NEW file needs git add to become visible. Path-scope every git add to the bundle — git add -A sweeps up the operator's own edits and their local config.
5. For the newly staged bundle run the explain skill (what the changes do and how the pieces interact, file:line-anchored) followed by the confidence skill (fix confidence, break risk, evidence, residuals).
6. Close with what remains unstaged and wait for the operator's commit decision; never auto-commit the newly staged bundle.
