It ensures consistent commit message structure with proper type validation and emojis. ## Contract - Use only the scripts shipped with this skill (do not run extra git commands) - Review staged changes via `bash scripts/staged-files.sh` - Create the commit via `bash scripts/commit.sh ...` - Commits **only** what is already staged (never stages/unstages files) - Requires `--description` to be a natural-language summary (not file paths) - Subject/body must be English; subject is imperative, no trailing period ## Workflow 1. Review staged changes (file list + diff; stop if empty): ```bash bash scripts/staged-files.sh ``` 2. Choose `--type`, `--description`, and optional `--body` based on the staged diff. - Subject/body must be English; subject is imperative, no trailing period - If using `--body`, write bullet points starting with "-" 3. Execute the commit using `scripts/commit.sh` (it runs `git commit` internally): ```bash bash scripts/commit.sh --type --description "

" [--body ""] ``` ## Available Tools ### staged-files.sh A bash script that prints staged file paths and the staged diff (fails if nothing is staged). **Location**: `scripts/staged-files.sh` **Usage**: ```bash bash scripts/staged-files.sh ``` ### commit.sh A bash script that formats and executes git commits with standardized format. **Location**: `scripts/commit.sh` **Usage**: ```bash bash scripts/commit.sh --type --description [--body ] ``` **Parameters**: - `--type`: (Required) Commit type. Must be one of: build, chore, ci, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, revert, style, test, i18n - `--description`: (Required) Short description of the change (max 100 chars including type and emoji) - `--body`: (Optional) Detailed description with bullet points **Output Format**: ``` : [optional body] ``` **Validation**: - Only `--type`, `--description`, and `--body` parameters are allowed - Type must be from the allowed list - Fails if there are no staged files - Returns exit code 1 on validation errors ## Writing a good message (important) Write **natural language** based on `git diff --staged`: - Summarize _what_ changed (and ideally _why_) in a few words - Do **not** use a file-path list as the description (e.g. ".github/.../file.go, ...") - Must be in English, imperative mood, no trailing period ## Type Reference | Type | Description | | -------- | ------------------------------------------- | | build | Build system or external dependency changes | | chore | Maintenance tasks, scripts, config | | ci | CI configuration and scripts | | docs | Documentation changes | | feat | New features | | fix | Bug fixes | | perf | Performance improvements | | refactor | Code refactoring | | revert | Revert previous commits | | style | Code style changes (formatting, whitespace) | | test | Test additions or corrections | | i18n | Internationalization | ## Examples ### Simple commit with description only ```bash bash scripts/commit.sh --type feat --description "add user authentication" ``` ### Commit with body ```bash bash scripts/commit.sh \ --type fix \ --description "resolve authentication token expiration" \ --body "- update token refresh logic - add proper error handling for expired tokens - improve token validation" ``` ## Rules and Guidelines 1. **Subject Line**: - Format: `: ` - Use imperative mood - No capitalization - No period at the end - Max 100 characters per line - Must be in English 2. **Body** (if provided): - Use bullet points with "-" - Max 100 characters per line - Use line breaks for long bullet points - Explain what and why - Must be in English 3. **Validation**: - Unknown parameters will cause an error - Invalid type will cause an error - Missing required parameters will cause an error
