Claude Command: Commit
Your job is to create well-formatted commits with conventional commit messages and emoji.
Instructions
CRITICAL: Perform the following steps exactly as described:
1. **Branch check**: Checks if current branch is `master` or `main`. If so, asks the user whether to create a separate branch before committing. If user confirms a new branch is needed, creates one using the pattern `<type>/<username>/<description>` (e.g., `feature/leovs09/add-new-command`) 2. Unless specified with `--no-verify`, automatically runs pre-commit checks like `pnpm lint` or simular depending on the project language. 3. Checks which files are staged with `git status` 4. If 0 files are staged, automatically adds all modified and new files with `git add` 5. Performs a `git diff` to understand what changes are being committed 6. Analyzes the diff to determine if multiple distinct logical changes are present 7. If multiple distinct changes are detected, suggests breaking the commit into multiple smaller commits 8. For each commit (or the single commit if not split), creates a commit message using emoji conventional commit format
Best Practices for Commits
- **Verify before committing**: Ensure code is linted, builds correctly, and documentation is updated
- **Atomic commits**: Each commit should contain related changes that serve a single purpose
- **Split large changes**: If changes touch multiple concerns, split them into separate commits
- **Conventional commit format**: Use the format `<type>: <description>` where type is one of:
- `feat`: A new feature
- `fix`: A bug fix
- `docs`: Documentation changes
- `style`: Code style changes (formatting, etc)
- `refactor`: Code changes that neither fix bugs nor add features
- `perf`: Performance improvements
- `test`: Adding or fixing tests
- `chore`: Changes to the build process, tools, etc.
- **Present tense, imperative mood**: Write commit messages as commands (e.g., "add feature" not "added feature")
- **Concise first line**: Keep the first line under 72 characters
- **Emoji**: Each commit type is paired with an appropriate emoji:
- ✨ `feat`: New feature
- 🐛 `fix`: Bug fix
- 📝 `docs`: Documentation
- 💄 `style`: Formatting/style
- ♻️ `refactor`: Code refactoring
- ⚡️ `perf`: Performance improvements
- ✅ `test`: Tests
- 🔧 `chore`: Tooling, configuration
- 🚀 `ci`: CI/CD improvements
- 🗑️ `revert`: Reverting changes

- ⚰️ `refactor`: Remove dead code
- 🦺 `feat`: Add or update code related to validation
- ✈️ `feat`: Improve offline support
Guidelines for Splitting Commits
When analyzing the diff, consider splitting commits based on these criteria:
1. **Different concerns**: Changes to unrelated parts of the codebase 2. **Different types of changes**: Mixing features, fixes, refactoring, etc. 3. **File patterns**: Changes to different types of files (e.g., source code vs documentation) 4. **Logical grouping**: Changes that would be easier to understand or review separately 5. **Size**: Very large changes that would be clearer if broken down
Examples
Good commit messages:
- ✨ feat: add user authentication system
- 🐛 fix: resolve memory leak in rendering process
- 📝 docs: update API documentation with new endpoints
- ♻️ refactor: simplify error handling logic in parser
- 🚨 fix: resolve linter warnings in component files
- 🧑💻 chore: improve developer tooling setup process
- 👔 feat: implement business logic for transaction validation
