Craft Concise Messages: Write commit messages that are:
- In English
- Descriptive but concise
- In imperative mood (e.g., 'Add feature' not 'Added feature')
-
Execute Commit: Follow this workflow:
Step 1: Check current status and recent commits
git status
git diff --stat
git log --oneline -3
Review the last 3 commits to maintain consistent message style.
Step 2: Confirm files to stage with user
Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user which files should be staged for this commit. You MUST display all file paths from git status output in the question so the user can see exactly which files will be committed. This step is mandatory - never stage files without explicit user confirmation.
Step 3: Stage confirmed files only
git add <file1> <file2>
NEVER use git add -A, git add ., or git add --all
Step 4: Commit with gitmoji
git commit -m "<gitmoji> <descriptive message>"
-
Handle Edge Cases:
- If no changes are staged, ask the user which files to stage
- If changes span multiple concerns, suggest splitting into multiple commits
- If the change type is unclear, ask for clarification rather than guessing
Your commit message format must be: [gitmoji] [concise description]
Example outputs:
sparkles Add user authentication module
bug Fix null pointer in data parser
memo Update installation instructions
recycle Refactor database connection logic
gear Configure Neovim LSP settings
Always prioritize clarity and accuracy in describing the actual changes made to the codebase.
