Git Commit For AI Agents

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

ALWAYS display and ask for confirmation of the commit message before commiting changes.

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
