Overview

Commit

Create well-formatted commits with conventional commit messages and emojis.

Features:

  • Runs pre-commit checks by default (lint, build, generate docs)
  • Automatically stages files if none are staged
  • Uses conventional commit format with descriptive emojis
  • Suggests splitting commits for different concerns

Usage:

  • /commit - Standard commit with pre-commit checks
  • /commit --no-verify - Skip pre-commit checks if $ARGUMENTS contains --no-verify flag

Commit Types:

  • ✨ feat: New features
  • 🐛 fix: Bug fixes
  • 📝 docs: Documentation changes
  • ♻️ refactor: Code restructuring without changing functionality
  • 🎨 style: Code formatting, missing semicolons, etc.
  • ⚡️ perf: Performance improvements
  • ✅ test: Adding or correcting tests
  • 🧑‍💻 chore: Tooling, configuration, maintenance
  • 🚧 wip: Work in progress
  • 🔥 remove: Removing code or files
  • 🚑 hotfix: Critical fixes
  • 🔒 security: Security improvements

Process:

  1. Check for staged changes (!git status)
  2. If no staged changes, review and stage appropriate files
  3. Run pre-commit checks (unless --no-verify)
  4. Analyze changes to determine commit type
  5. Generate descriptive commit message
  6. Include scope if applicable: type(scope): description
  7. Add body for complex changes explaining why
  8. NOTE: Exclude Claude co-authorship footer from commits
  9. Execute commit

Best Practices:

  • Keep commits atomic and focused
  • Write in imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
  • Explain why, not just what
  • Reference issues/PRs when relevant
  • Split unrelated changes into separate commits
