Git Operations for adk-python

Commit Message Format

Use Conventional Commits:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

Types

• feat: New feature
• fix: Bug fix
• docs: Documentation only
• style: Formatting, no code change
• refactor: Code restructure without behavior change
• perf: Performance improvement
• test: Adding/updating tests
• chore: Build, config, dependencies
• ci: CI/CD changes

Description Phrasing

CRITICAL: The subject line must answer why, not just what. A reviewer reading only the subject should understand the motivation.

• State the outcome, not the mechanics:
  • Good: Fix race condition when two agents write to same session
  • Bad: Update session.py to add lock
• Name the capability added, not the implementation:
  • Good: Support parallel tool execution in workflows
  • Bad: Add asyncio.gather call in execute_tools_node
• For refactors, state the reason, not just the action:
  • Good: Make graph public for dev UI serialization
  • Bad: Make graph a public field on new Workflow
• For bug fixes, state what was broken:
  • Good: Prevent duplicate events when resuming HITL
  • Bad: Check interrupt_id before appending

Detailed Commit Messages

Promote detailed commit messages by including a short, concrete explanation in the body:

• For features: Give a sample usage or explain the new capability.
• For fixes: Explain what caused the error and how the fix addresses it.

Example (Feature):

feat(workflow): Support JSON string parsing in schema validation

Automatically parse JSON strings into dicts or Pydantic models when input_schema or output_schema is defined on a node.

Example (Fix):

fix(sessions): Prevent duplicate events when resuming HITL

The interrupt_id was not checked before appending, causing duplicates if the user resumed multiple times. Added a check to ignore already processed interrupts.

Self-check before committing: read your subject line and ask "does this tell me why someone made this change?" If it only describes what changed, rewrite it.

Rules

1. Imperative mood - "Add feature" not "Added feature".
2. Capitalize first letter of description (for release-please changelog).
3. No period at end of subject line.
4. 50 char limit on subject line when possible, max 72.
5. Use body for context - Add a blank line then explain why, not how, when the subject alone isn't enough.

Examples

feat(agents): Support App pattern with lifecycle plugins
fix(sessions): Prevent memory leak on concurrent session cleanup
refactor(tools): Unify env var checks across tool implementations
docs: Add contributing guide for first-time contributors

Pre-commit Hooks

[!IMPORTANT] Before performing any commit, check if pre-commit is installed and configured with the expected hooks (isort, pyink, addlicense, mdformat). If not, remind the user to set up pre-commit hooks using the adk-setup skill.
