description	Guide for preparing git commits in this repository, including context gathering and repository-specific commit message conventions.

Git Commit Workflow

Use this skill when preparing or creating commits.

Workflow

1. Gather commit context in one tool call

   • Run: git status && git diff && git log -n 3 --format="---%n%B".

2. Write commit title and description

   • Use a concise summary on the first line (the title) in present simple tense (example: Fix cursor offset).
   • Leave one blank line between the title and the body.
   • Add a body only when it improves clarity.
   • Explain why and how in present simple tense.
   • If there are multiple points, format them as - bullet lines with one point per line.

3. Avoid Conventional Commit prefixes

   • Do not use prefixes such as feat: or fix: in commit titles.

4. Apply repository-specific commit rules

   • Never use --no-verify with git commands to bypass prek-managed hooks.
   • Do not add Co-Authored-By trailers or AI attribution to commit messages.
