Claude Command: Commit (Git-only)

This command works **without any package manager/build tools**, using only **Git** to:

  • Read changes (staged/unstaged)
  • Determine if changes should be **split into multiple commits**
  • Generate **Conventional Commits** style messages with optional emoji for each commit
  • Execute `git add` and `git commit` as needed (runs local Git hooks by default; use `--no-verify` to skip)

Usage

/git-commit
/git-commit --no-verify
/git-commit --emoji
/git-commit --all --signoff
/git-commit --amend
/git-commit --scope ui --type feat --emoji

Options

  • `--no-verify`: Skip local Git hooks (`pre-commit`/`commit-msg` etc.).
  • `--all`: When staging area is empty, automatically `git add -A` to include all changes in the commit.
  • `--amend`: **Amend** the last commit without creating a new one (preserves author and timestamp unless local Git config specifies otherwise).
  • `--signoff`: Add `Signed-off-by` line (use when following DCO process).
  • `--emoji`: Include emoji prefix in commit message (omit for plain text).
  • `--scope <scope>`: Specify commit scope (e.g., `ui`, `docs`, `api`), written to message header.
  • `--type <type>`: Force commit type (e.g., `feat`, `fix`, `docs`), overrides automatic detection.

> Note: If the framework doesn't support interactive confirmation, enable `confirm: true` in front-matter to avoid mistakes.

What This Command Does

1. **Repository/Branch Validation**

  • Check if in a Git repository using `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`.
  • Read current branch/HEAD status; if in rebase/merge conflict state, prompt to resolve conflicts first.

2. **Change Detection**

  • Get staged and unstaged changes using `git status --porcelain` and `git diff`.
  • If staged files = 0:
  • If `--all` is passed → Execute `git add -A`.
  • Otherwise prompt choice: continue analyzing unstaged changes for **suggestions**, or cancel to manually group staging.

3. **Split Suggestions (Split Heuristics)**

  • Cluster by **concerns**, **file modes**, **change types** (e.g., source code vs docs/tests; different directories/packages; additions vs deletions).
  • If **multiple independent changesets** or large diff detected (e.g., > 300 lines / across multiple top-level directories), suggest splitting commits with pathspecs for each group (for subsequent `git add <paths>`).

4. **Commit Message Generation (Conventional with Optional Emoji)**

  • Auto-infer `type` (`feat`/`fix`/`docs`/`refactor`/`test`/`chore`/`perf`/`style`/`ci`/`revert`...) and optional `scope`.
  • Generate message header: `[<emoji>] <type>(<scope>)?: <subject>` (first line ≤ 72 chars, imperative mood, emoji included only with `--emoji` flag).
  • Generate message body:
  • Must have a blank line after the subject.
  • Use list format, each item starts with `-`.
  • Each item **must use imperative verb-first sentences** (e.g., "add…", "fix…", "update…").
  • **Colon-separated formats are prohibited** (e.g., ~~"Feature: description"~~, ~~"Impl: content"~~).
  • Describe the motivation, implementation details, or impact scope (3 items or fewer recommended).
  • Generate message footer (if any):
  • Must have a blank line after the Body.
  • **BREAKING CHANGE**: If there are breaking changes, must include `BREAKING CHANGE: <description>`, or add exclamation mark after type (e.g., `feat!:`).
  • Other footers use git trailer format (e.g., `Closes #123`, `Refs: #456`, `Reviewed-by: Name`).
  • Select message language to match the predominant language in Git history. Inspect recent commit subjects (e.g., `git log -n 50 --pretty=%s`) to decide Chinese vs English; if unclear, fall back to the repository's primary locale or English.
  • Write draft to `.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG` for use with `git commit`.

5. **Execute Commit**

  • Single commit scenario: `git commit [-S] [--no-verify] [-s] -F .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG`
  • Multiple commit scenario (if split accepted): Provide clear instructions for `git add <paths> && git commit ...` per group; execute sequentially if allowed.

6. **Safe Rollback**

  • If mistakenly staged, use `git restore --staged <paths>` to unstage (command provides instructions, doesn't modify file contents).

Best Practices for Commits

  • **Atomic commits**: One commit does one thing, easier to trace and review.
  • **Group before committing**: Split by directory/module/feature.
  • **Clear subject**: First line ≤ 72 chars, imperative mood.
  • **Body with context**: Explain motivation, solution, and impact scope (colon-separated formats prohibited).
  • **Follow Conventional Commits**: `<type>(<scope>): <subject>`.

Type to Emoji Mapping (When --emoji is Used)

  • ✨ `feat`: New feature
  • 🐛 `fix`: Bug fix (includes 🔥 remove code/files, 🚑️ hotfix, 👽️ adapt to external API changes, 🔒️ security fix, 🚨 fix warnings, 💚 fix CI)
  • 📝 `docs`: Documentation and comments
  • 🎨 `style`: Code style/formatting (no semantic changes)
  • ♻️ `refactor`: Refactoring (no new features, no bug fixes)
  • ⚡️ `perf`: Performance improvements
  • ✅ `test`: Add/fix tests, snapshots
  • 🔧 `chore`: Build/tools/misc tasks (merge branches, update configs, release tags, pin dependencies, .gitignore, etc.)
  • 👷 `ci`: CI/CD configuration and scripts
  • ⏪️ `revert`: Revert commits
  • 💥 `feat`: Breaking changes (explained in `BREAKING CHANGE:` section)

> If `--type`/`--scope` is passed, it will **override** auto-detection. > Emoji is only included when `--emoji` flag is specified.
