Commit Types

feat: New feature
fix: Bug fix
test: Adding or updating tests
docs: Documentation changes
refactor: Code refactoring (no functional changes)
style: Code style changes (formatting, whitespace)
chore: Maintenance tasks, dependencies
perf: Performance improvements
ci: CI/CD configuration changes
build: Build system changes

Scope (Optional)

Add scope in parentheses to provide additional context:

Breaking Changes

Indicate breaking changes with ! after type/scope:

Description Guidelines

Use imperative mood ("add feature" not "added feature")
Start with lowercase
No period at the end
Keep under 72 characters
Be specific and descriptive

Multi-line Commits

For complex changes, use a body to provide context:

Footers

Footers provide metadata about the commit.

Breaking Changes

Document breaking changes in footer:

Commit Message Customization

IMPORTANT: Do NOT include AI attribution footers like:

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Keep commit messages clean and focused on the changes themselves.

Before Committing

Check for remote updates: git fetch
Review your changes: git status and git diff
Stage relevant files: git add <files>
Write clear commit message

Commit Frequency

Commit logical units of work
Don't commit half-finished features
Ensure tests pass before committing
One commit per requirement or bug fix (when practical)

Integration with STDD Workflow

When following the spec-test-driven development workflow:

After completing a requirement (spec + test + implementation)
Ensure all tests pass
Run any precommit hooks
Commit with descriptive message
Reference requirement ID in commit body if helpful
