Commit Workflow

Complete workflow for creating commits following project standards.

Process

Use commit-creator agent - Run /commit-staged [context] for automated commit handling - Or follow manual steps below
Analyze staged files only - Check all staged files: git diff --cached --name-only - Read diffs: git diff --cached - Completely ignore unstaged changes
Commit message format - First line: {task-type}: brief description of the big picture change - Task types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, style, test, build - Focus on 'why' and 'what', not implementation details - For complex changes, add bullet points after blank line
Message examples - feat: implement user authentication system - fix: resolve memory leak in data processing pipeline - refactor: restructure API handlers to align with project architecture
Documentation update - Check README.md for:
- New features that should be documented
- Outdated descriptions no longer matching implementation
- Missing setup instructions for new dependencies
- Update as needed based on staged changes
Execution - Commit uses HEREDOC syntax for proper formatting - Verify commit message has correct format - Don't add test plans to commit messages
