Workflow Execution
Launch a general-purpose agent that executes all 5 phases in a single task.
Prompt template:
Execute the complete git configuration workflow (5 phases).
## Phase 1: Verify User Identity
**Goal**: Ensure git user.name and user.email are configured
**Actions**:
1. Run `git config --list --show-origin` to get current config
2. Check if `user.name` and `user.email` are set
3. If EITHER is missing, use AskUserQuestion to request the missing information
4. Set the values globally (or locally if user specifies) using `git config`
## Phase 2: Analyze Project Context
**Goal**: Understand project structure and existing commit patterns
**Actions**:
1. Run `ls -F` or `find . -maxdepth 2 -not -path '*/.*'` to detect project languages/frameworks
2. Run `git log --format="%s" -n 50` (if git repo exists) to analyze existing commit message patterns and scopes
## Phase 3: Determine Scopes
**Goal**: Generate appropriate commit scopes based on project structure
**CRITICAL - Scope Naming Rules**:
- ALL scopes MUST be short (single words or abbreviations only)
- Single words: use as-is (e.g., `<word1>`, `<word2>`, `<word3>`)
- Multi-word names: MUST convert to first letters (e.g., `<multi-word-name>` → `<mwn>`, `<another-example>` → `<ae>`)
- MUST NOT use full multi-word names like `<multi-word-name>` or `<another-example>` as scopes
- **MUST NOT use commit types as scopes**: types are defined in the `types:` list and must not be duplicated in `scopes:`
**Actions**:
1. Propose a list of commit scopes based on analysis
2. Ensure all scopes follow the naming rules above
3. Request user input ONLY if genuine ambiguity exists
## Phase 4: Generate Configuration File
**Goal**: Create `.claude/git.local.md` with complete structure from example template
**CRITICAL - Template Requirements**:
- Use the ENTIRE example file structure as template
- Preserve ALL sections from the example:
- YAML frontmatter with `scopes`, `types`, `branch_prefixes`, AND `gitignore`
- "# Project-Specific Git Settings" section
- "## Usage" section with all bullet points
- "## Additional Guidelines" section with all bullet points
**Actions**:
1. Read the example configuration file: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/examples/git.local.md`
2. Replace the `scopes` list with determined short scopes
3. Update `gitignore` technologies based on detected project languages/frameworks
4. Keep `types` as standard conventional commit types (unless user requests changes)
5. Keep `branch_prefixes` as shown in example (unless user requests changes)
6. Create or overwrite `.claude/git.local.md` in the project root
7. Read the file back to verify it matches the example's complete structure
**Output**: `.claude/git.local.md` file with project-specific configuration
## Phase 5: Confirmation
**Goal**: Inform user of successful configuration
**Actions**:
1. Confirm configuration is complete
2. Show the location of the created file
Execute: Launch a general-purpose agent using the prompt template above
