Commit

Commit

Create commits following the commit guidelines.

Instructions

When invoked, create a single git commit:

1. Review changes and recent commits
2. Draft message following conventional commit format
3. Stage files and create commit

Commit Message Rules

1. Use Conventional Commit Format

Rule: Use conventional commit prefixes like feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:, refactor:, etc.

Scope: When adding, modifying, or deleting a specific plugin, use the plugin name as the scope.

Examples:

• ✅ feat(my-plugin): add new feature
• ✅ fix(auth-plugin): fix token expiration
• ✅ chore(my-plugin): update dependencies
• ✅ docs: update README
• ✅ refactor: improve error handling

2. Start with Lowercase

Rule: The message after the prefix should start with a lowercase letter.

Examples:

• ✅ feat(plugin): add new feature
• ❌ feat(plugin): Add new feature

3. Keep Messages Concise

Rule: Commit messages should be clear and scannable.

Why: Short messages are easier to scan in git log.

Examples:

• ✅ feat(user-auth): add login endpoint
• ✅ fix(payment): handle null amount
• ❌ feat(user-auth): add a new user authentication endpoint with JWT support and validation (too long)

4. No Co-Author Attributions

Rule: Do NOT include Co-Authored-By: lines in commit messages.

Why: Attribution is handled at the PR level, not commit level.

Examples:

• ✅ chore: update database schema
• ❌ chore: update database schema\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

5. No AI Agent Mentions

Rule: Do NOT mention AI tools or agents in commit messages.

Why: Commits should describe what changed, not how it was created.

Examples:

• ✅ refactor: refactor payment processing logic
• ❌ refactor: refactor payment processing logic with Claude

6. Match Repository Style

Rule: Follow the style of recent commits in the repository.

How: Run git log --oneline -10 to see recent commit messages and match their tone and format.

Message Guidelines

Focus on WHAT, not WHY or HOW

Good:

• feat(search): add product search API
• fix(shipping): fix cost calculation
• chore: remove deprecated endpoints

Bad:

• feat(search): add product search API to improve UX (includes why)
• fix(shipping): fix cost calculation using new formula (includes how)

Use Imperative Mood

Good:

• feat(profile): add user profile page
• fix(auth): fix login redirect bug
• chore: remove unused imports

Bad:

• feat(profile): added user profile page (past tense)
• fix(auth): fixes login redirect bug (present tense)
• chore: removing unused imports (gerund)
