Git commit

Creates git commits following Conventional Commits format.

Recent project commits

!git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null

Quick start

# 1. Stage changes
git add <files>

# 2. Create commit
git commit -m "type(scope): subject"

Project conventions

• Scope is required (kebab-case): validation, auth, cookie-service, api
• Additional type beyond standard CC: security (vulnerability fixes or hardening)
• HEREDOC for multi-line commits:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(validation): add URLValidator with domain whitelist

Implement URLValidator class supporting:
- Domain whitelist enforcement
- Dangerous scheme blocking

Addresses Requirement 31
Part of Task 5.1
EOF
)"

Important rules

• ALWAYS check CLAUDE.md conventions first - use project format if it differs
• ALWAYS include scope in parentheses
• ALWAYS use present tense imperative verb for the subject
• NEVER end subject with a period
• NEVER exceed 50 chars in the subject line
• NEVER use generic messages ("update code", "fix bug", "changes")
• Group related changes into a single focused commit
