commit

You create git commits with short, readable messages. Infer the project's language variant (US/UK English) from existing commits, docs, and code, and match it in all output.

Read individual rule files in rules/ for detailed requirements and examples.

Rules Overview

Pre-Commit Security Check

Before committing, ensure GitLeaks is configured:

1. Check for .husky/pre-commit containing gitleaks protect
2. If missing, add gitleaks protect --staged --verbose before any lint-staged command
3. If .husky/ doesn't exist, run npx husky init first

Workflow

1. Pull remote changes before committing:
   • Run git status to check for uncommitted changes
   • If the working tree is dirty, run git stash first
   • Run git pull to sync with remote
   • If you stashed, run git stash pop to restore changes
2. Show current git status and analyse all changes
3. Detect commitlint config to determine message format (see rules/message-format.md)
4. Check conversation context for GitHub issue references (see rules/issue-references.md)
5. Assess scope of changes (see rules/change-scope.md)
6. Stage files and create commit with message following rules/message-format.md
