Requested message intent: $ARGUMENTS

Create a clean, conventional commit. Only commit when the user has asked you to.

Steps

git status and git diff (staged + unstaged) to see exactly what will be committed. Review it.
Never stage secrets/local config: **/.dev.vars, wrangler.local.jsonc, .env*, tests/e2e/.auth/. The bash-guard hook blocks these, but check anyway.
Branch first if on main: git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD; if it's main, create a topic branch before committing.
Stage intentionally (prefer explicit paths over git add -A when the working tree is mixed).
Commit with a message matching the repo style — a concise, sentence-case summary line ending in a period (see git log, e.g. "Add binary asset uploads (images, PDFs, archives) via R2."). End the message with the trailer:
```
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
```
Do not push unless asked. If asked to open a PR, end the PR body with:
```
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
```

Before committing non-trivial changes

Consider running /preflight so you don't commit code that fails CI's gates.
