Git Checkpoint Creation

Create a checkpoint commit of ALL uncommitted changes in the repository.

Process

1. Check status: Run git status --short to see all changes
2. Analyze changes: For each modified/added file, briefly review what changed using git diff <file> | head -50 or read new files
3. Stage everything: Run git add -A to stage ALL changes (modified, new, and deleted files)
4. Write commit message: Based on analysis, write a clear commit message that:
   • Has a concise summary line (under 72 chars)
   • Lists key changes as bullet points
   • Groups related changes together
5. Commit: Create the commit with the message

Important Rules

• Commit EVERYTHING: Do not selectively pick files. All uncommitted changes should be included.
• Analyze first: Read diffs or file contents to understand what changed before writing the commit message.
• Be descriptive: The commit message should explain WHAT was done, not just list file names.
• No AI attribution: Do not include "Co-Authored-By: Claude" or similar.

Example Commit Message Format

Summary of changes in imperative mood

- Add feature X with support for Y
- Fix bug in Z where condition was wrong
- Update config to enable new option
- Refactor module for better performance

If an optional message argument is provided, use it as the summary line.
