Commit changes

Create a focused git commit for the current changes.

Workflow

  1. Gather context:
    • User notes, if provided.
    • Current branch: git branch --show-current.
    • Working tree: git status --short.
    • Staged changes: git diff --cached --stat.
    • Unstaged changes: git diff --stat.
    • Recent commits for style reference: git log -5 --oneline.
  2. Review the changed files.
  3. If there are no changes to commit, tell the user and stop.
  4. If there are unstaged changes, stage the relevant files with git add.
  5. Do not stage files that look like secrets, credentials, API keys, or private environment files.
  6. Write a conventional commit message:
text
type(scope): brief description

Optional longer explanation if the changes are complex.

Allowed types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, style, build, ci.

Message guidelines

  • Keep the first line under 72 characters.
  • Use imperative mood, for example add feature, not added feature.
  • Be specific about what changed and why.
  • Incorporate user-provided context when it clarifies intent.

Commit rules

  • Use git commit -m "message".
  • Do not push.
  • Do not amend unless explicitly requested.
  • Do not use --no-verify.
  • Do not include AI attribution.

If the commit fails because of hooks, fix mechanical formatting, lint, or import issues and retry. If the hook failure reveals a meaningful product or implementation issue, stop and ask the user how to proceed.
