commit

Create Commit

Create a commit with auto-generated message from staged changes.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (optional commit message override)

Instructions

1. Check for staged changes:

   • Run git diff --cached --stat to see staged files summary
   • If no staged changes, inform the user and suggest git add

2. Gather information about staged changes:

   • Run git diff --cached to see the actual diff
   • Run git status to see overall status

3. Generate commit message:

   • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the commit message
   • Otherwise, analyze the diff to generate:
     • First line: Short summary (50 chars max) in imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature", "Fix bug", "Update config")
     • Body (if needed): 2-3 sentence explanation of why the change was made

4. Create the commit using:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<short summary>

<optional 2-3 sentence explanation>

Co-authored-by: <agenting tool name> <noreply@<vendor domain>>
Assisted-By: <agenting tool name>(<model name>)
EOF
)"

• The Co-authored-by trailer is a git standard recognized by GitHub. Use the agent's name and vendor no-reply email (e.g., Co-authored-by: Claude Code <[email protected]>).
• The Assisted-By trailer credits the AI agent and model. Use the actual tool name and model you are running as (e.g., Assisted-By: Claude Code(claude-opus-4-6)).

5. Show the commit result with git log -1 --oneline

Examples

• /commit - Auto-generate commit message from staged changes
• /commit "Fix typo in README" - Use provided message

Important

• Use imperative mood: "Add" not "Added", "Fix" not "Fixed"
• Keep first line under 50 characters
• Don't commit if there are no staged changes
• Warn if committing sensitive files (.env, credentials, etc.)
