name: commit description: Stage and commit changes with a clear, concise commit message. argument-hint: [optional message hint] allowed-tools: Bash(git *)

Commit

Create a commit for the current changes.

Steps

  1. Run git status (without -uall) to see untracked and modified files.
  2. Run git diff and git diff --cached to understand staged and unstaged changes.
  3. Run git log --oneline -5 to see recent commit style.
  4. Run bin/test-confidence to verify your changes don't break anything. Opus analyzes your diff and runs the right tests. Wait for 99% confidence (green bar) before proceeding. If any test fails, fix it first.
  5. Run linters on changed files before staging:
    • Ruby files: bundle exec rubocop --force-exclusion -a <files>
    • JS/TS files: npm run lint-fast -- --max-warnings 0 --fix --no-warn-ignored <files>
    • TypeScript type check: npx tsc --noEmit (required, catches type errors that eslint skips)
    • CSS/SCSS/JSON/MD files: npx prettier --write <files>
    • SVG files: npx svgo --multipass <files>
    • Fix any lint errors or type errors before proceeding. Do not commit code that fails linting or type checking.
  6. Stage the relevant files by name — avoid git add -A or git add ..
  7. Write a commit message and commit.

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as a hint for the message.

Commit message rules

  • Use the imperative mood ("Add", "Fix", "Remove", not "Added", "Fixes", "Removed").
  • Be concise: one short sentence, ideally under 50 characters.
  • Do NOT use conventional commit prefixes (no feat:, fix:, chore:, etc.).
  • Do NOT add any Co-Authored-By or similar trailers.
  • Focus on what changed and why, not how.
  • If a second line is needed for context, keep it brief.

Examples of good messages

  • Prevent discount code from being cleared on edit
  • Add integration test for offer code persistence
  • Remove unused legacy export helper
  • Fix thumbnail missing in upsell insert
