| name | git-conventions |
| description | Apply this repo's git conventions when staging and committing: use targeted `git add` (never `git add -A`), group changes logically, and write conventional commit messages (type: description, imperative mood). Use when the user asks to commit, stage, or write a commit message in this repo. Do not use for branch/PR review workflows. |
Git conventions
Staging
- Always use targeted
git add <paths> then commit. Do not use git add -A.
- Assume the working directory may contain things the user does not want committed.
- Use
git status and group changes together logically.
- If the user asks you to commit, commit your changes. If there are unrelated changes, notify the engineer that you didn't commit those (but don't ask approval to proceed with the targeted commit) unless there's a genuine merge conflict serious enough to require attention.
Commit messages
Conventional format — <type>: <description> in imperative present tense ("add feature", not "added feature"), first line ≤ 50 chars.
Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore, ci.
