Git Commit For AI Agents

CRITICAL: A commit to git must always be the result of explicit requests, and never can be done automatically.

Files

• Always follow the rules found in .gitignore files.
• If agent is Claude, ensure that the setting respectGitignore is set to true.

Commit message

• Always limit line text to 72 characters.
• CRITICAL: Always add "Assisted-by: AGENT IDENTIFICATION "
• CRITICAL: Always commit with '-s/--signoff'
• Each commit should represent a single, logical change
• Use bullet points for multiple changes.
• CRITICAL: Always add a bullet list of the prompts used to generate the change being commited.
• NEVER add promps like "commit changes" to the list of prompts.
• The message summary should contain the component that is affected by the changes and then a brief summary of the changes.

This is an example of a good commit message:

CLAUDE.md: Sync with AGENTS.md and add sync rule

Updated CLAUDE.md to include all rules from AGENTS.md:
- Added AGENTS.md synchronization check requirement
- Added rule to ignore docs/prompts.md when analyzing
- Expanded commit message rules to include prompt tracking
- Added requirement for single logical change per commit
- Added .gitignore compliance requirement
- Reorganized Git section into Files and Commit Message
  subsections

Prompts:
- Update CLAUDE.md with current AGENTS.md, and add a rule
  to always update it again, if AGENTS.md is newer than
  CLAUDE.md
