change-classificationlisted

Classify code changes as in-context, uncertain, or out-of-context using primary signals (branch diff, issue keywords, active tasks), secondary signals (directory proximity, test naming), and red-flag patterns (secrets, large binaries). Use when preparing commits or reviewing staged changes. This skill MUST be consulted because committing without classification is how out-of-context changes, secrets, and unintended modifications reach the repository.

# Change Classification ## Contract Iron law: classify before committing — every changed file gets a classification; unclassified files are not staged. Invoked by `/flow:commit` (Phase 2 CLASSIFY, cross-check), `/flow:start` (CODE phase per-task gate, step 8), `/flow:address` (after fixes), `/flow:debug`, and `/flow:pr` (pre-flight). Returns a finding-first table — File | Classification | Signal | Notes — with each file marked in-context, uncertain, out-of-context, or RED FLAG, plus first-touch notes and proposed atomic commit groups. Permitted skips: none. Red-flag files are blocked regardless of context; uncertain or out-of-context files go to the user via a six-field AskUserQuestion escalation before any commit. ## Signals Evaluate in order: red flags, primary, secondary, default → uncertain. | Category | Signal | Result | |----------|--------|--------| | Red flag | `.env*`, `credentials*`, `*secret*`, key files | BLOCK — never commit | | Red flag | `*.lock`, `package-lock.json`, files >1MB, auto-generated | WARN — verify intentional | | Primary | In branch diff (`git diff --name-only $DEFAULT_BRANCH...HEAD`) | in-context | | Primary | Path matches issue title/body keywords | in-context | | Primary | Path referenced in a TaskList task, or same top-level directory as task files | in-context | | Secondary | Sibling of an in-context file; test companion (`foo.rb` ↔ `foo_test.rb`) | lean in-context | | Secondary | Config/dotfile/manifest in project root | uncertain | | Se
