# Smart Commit > Run quality gates, review staged changes for issues, and create a well-crafted conventional commit.

Check current state and identify what to commit. 2. Run quality gates (lint, typecheck, tests on affected files). 3. Scan staged changes for issues. 4. Draft a conventional commit message from the diff. 5. Stage specific files, create the commit. 6. Prompt for learnings from this change. ## Commands ```bash git status git diff --stat npm run lint 2>&1 | tail -5 npm run typecheck 2>&1 | tail -5 npm test -- --changed --passWithNoTests 2>&1 | tail -10 git add git commit -m "():

" ``` ## Code Review Scan Before committing, check staged changes for: - `console.log` / `debugger` statements - TODO/FIXME/HACK comments without ticket references - Hardcoded secrets or API keys - Leftover test-only code Flag any issues before proceeding. ## Commit Message Format ``` (): ``` **Types:** feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, ci, style ## Guardrails - Never skip quality gates unless user explicitly says to. - Stage specific files by name. Never `git add -A` or `git add .`. - Summary under 72 characters. Body explains *why*, not *what*. - No generic messages ("fix bug", "update code"). - Reference issue numbers when applicable. ## Output - Quality gate results (pass/fail) - Issues found in staged changes - Suggested commit message - Commit hash after committing - Prompt: any learnings to capture?
