Commit

Creates commits that follow the project's Conventional Commits standard and credit AI co-authorship.

Instructions

1. Intercept Commit Intent

Detect: "commit", "git commit", "commit changes", "push this", "done, commit it". Activate immediately before any commit action.

2. Analyze Staged Changes

git diff --cached --name-only
git diff --cached

# Check for sensitive files (BLOCK if found)
git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E '\.(env|pem|key|credentials)$'

Determine commit type from changes:

• feat — New feature files
• fix — Bug fixes
• docs — Only docs/comments
• refactor — Restructure, same behavior
• test — Test additions/fixes
• build — Build system, dependencies
• chore — Maintenance

Scopes (pick from the paths changed; omit for cross-cutting changes):

Documentation-only changes use the docs type (docs(gradle): ... when scoped to one module).

3. Validate Commit Message

Required format:

<type>[(scope)]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]

Validation rules:

• Valid type: feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert
• Subject ≤72 characters
• No trailing period
• Imperative mood ("add" not "added")
• Blank line between subject and body
• Body lines wrapped at 80 characters

4. Add the AI Co-Author Trailer

When Claude wrote or co-wrote the change, end the message with a Co-Authored-By trailer after a blank line:

Co-Authored-By: Claude <model name> <noreply@anthropic.com>

If the session already supplies attribution lines for commits, use those verbatim instead. One trailer per commit; no other attribution text is needed.

5. Execute Commit

Only after all validations pass:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<validated commit message>
EOF
)"

Verify:

git log -1 --format="%H %s"

6. Handle Edge Cases

Multiple logical changes — recommend splitting:

1. refactor(codegen): extract default-value lookup to its own strategy
2. feat(codegen): add a default for kotlin.time.Duration
3. test(codegen): cover the Duration default

Error Messages

Invalid Type:

COMMIT BLOCKED — Invalid Type
"update" is not valid. Use: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, revert

Subject Too Long:

COMMIT BLOCKED — Subject exceeds 72 characters (currently: {n})
Suggested: "{shortened version}"
