Commit Message Style

Format

<summary line — imperative, max ~72 chars>

<body — one line per change, no filler>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Rules

Summary line: imperative mood ("Add", "Fix", "Rename", "Remove"), describe the primary intent
Body: list every discrete change on its own line, no bullets needed, no prose explanations
Completeness: every file-level change must be mentioned — don't silently lump things together
Brevity: state what changed, not why it's important or how it works — the diff shows that
No filler: no "This commit...", no "In this change...", no "Also..."
No @ symbols: never use @ in commit messages (e.g. write [DBIO] not [@DBIO]) — platforms like GitHub interpret @word as user/org mentions
Language: English
Co-Author: always append the Co-Authored-By line when Claude wrote or co-wrote the changes

Examples

Good:

Rename _dbic_connect_attributes to _dbio_connect_attributes

Storage/DBI.pm: accessor declaration and two call sites
Schema/Versioned.pm: one call site

Good:

Migrate to [@DBIO] bundle, fix _Util rename, add POD

Switch dist.ini from [@Author::GETTY] to [@DBIO].
Fix DBIO::_Util -> DBIO::Util in Storage::ASE.
Fix _dbic_cinnect_attributes typo in Storage::FreeTDS.
Add inline POD to all four modules.
Clean up cpanfile, remove deps already in DBIO core.
Add CLAUDE.md and README.md.

Bad (too vague):

Update driver code and documentation

Bad (too verbose):

This commit updates the Sybase driver distribution to use the new
[@DBIO] Dist::Zilla plugin bundle instead of the previous [@Author::GETTY]
bundle. Additionally, it fixes an issue where...

Multi-repo commits

When committing across multiple repos in a workspace, each repo gets its own commit with its own message. Don't reference other repos in the message.

HEREDOC usage

Always pass commit messages via HEREDOC to preserve formatting:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Summary line

Body lines here.

langertha-adr

Getty/langertha

How Langertha records Architecture Decision Records: the house docs/adr/ format, what counts as ADR-worthy in an LLM-engine framework, and the structure-first method for backfilling decisions already baked into the engine/role/value-object mesh.

langertha-github-issues

Getty/langertha

Langertha's PUBLIC issue tracker — real humans' bug reports and feature requests, hosted on GitHub (github.com/Getty/langertha) and reached with the `gh` CLI. Read this whenever GitHub, `gh`, public issues, pull requests, or user bug reports come up. NOT the AI/agent work board (that is karr). HARD RULE: never touch GitHub issues — not even read — unless the user explicitly tells you to.
