**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 <AGENT E-MAIL>"
- **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
