Git commit

Creates git commits following Conventional Commits format.

Recent project commits

!`git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null`

Quick start

# 1. Stage changes
git add <files>

# 2. Create commit
git commit -m "type(scope): subject"

Project conventions

• Scope is **required** (kebab-case): `validation`, `auth`, `cookie-service`, `api`
• Additional type beyond standard CC: `security` (vulnerability fixes or hardening)
• HEREDOC for multi-line commits:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(validation): add URLValidator with domain whitelist

Implement URLValidator class supporting:
- Domain whitelist enforcement
- Dangerous scheme blocking

Addresses Requirement 31
Part of Task 5.1
EOF
)"

Important rules

• **ALWAYS** check CLAUDE.md conventions first - use project format if it differs
• **ALWAYS** include scope in parentheses
• **ALWAYS** use present tense imperative verb for the subject
• **NEVER** end subject with a period
• **NEVER** exceed 50 chars in the subject line
• **NEVER** use generic messages ("update code", "fix bug", "changes")
• Group related changes into a single focused commit
