name	commit-workflow
description	Use this skill when creating commits in this repository. It standardizes commit splitting, Conventional Commit type/scope selection, and English commit messages with workspace-folder scopes.

Commit Workflow

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• create one or more commits;
• split changes into multiple commits;
• choose commit message types/scopes;
• validate commit format before committing.

Source Of Truth

• AGENTS.md
• root package.json (workspaces: ["packages/*"])
• actual workspace folders under packages/

Required Rules

• Commit format: Conventional Commits.
• Commit message language: English.
• Allowed types: feat, fix, build, ci, perf, docs, refactor, style, test, chore.
• Always keep commit type in lowercase (feat, fix, build, ...), even when the summary starts with uppercase.
• Scope rule for workspace changes: use workspace folder name (not npm package name).
  • Current workspace scopes:
    • v1-components
    • v1-contexts
    • v1-testing
    • v1-types
• For root/global repository changes, scope may be omitted.
• Split commits by logical intent.
• If one change affects multiple workspaces, split by workspace unless user explicitly asks to combine.
• Keep subject concise and factual.
• Start subject description with an uppercase letter.
• Mention affected component(s) or area in subject description when applicable.
• Subject should describe completed change in past tense.
• Prefer passive voice for changelog-friendly phrasing.
• Do not amend/rewrite history unless explicitly requested.

Workflow

1. Inspect pending changes:

git status --short
git diff

2. Map changed files to workspace folders (packages/<workspace>/...) or root/global files.
3. Group changes into commit batches by logical intent and workspace boundary.
4. Choose commit header:

<type>(<workspace-scope>): <short english summary>

or for global changes:

<type>: <short english summary>

5. Stage only files for the current batch:

git add <files>

6. Create commit (non-interactive):

git commit -m "<type>(<scope>): <summary>"

7. Verify result:

git show --name-status --oneline -n 1

Practical Patterns

• Workspace feature: feat(v1-components): UiSelect searchable select option groups added
• Workspace fix: fix(v1-contexts): OrderContext missing order id handling corrected
• Global docs update: docs: AGENTS repository agent instructions updated
• Root tooling/config change: chore: Root yarn workspace build flow updated
