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

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
🩹 fix: address minor styling inconsistency in header
🚑️ fix: patch critical security vulnerability in auth flow
🎨 style: reorganize component structure for better readability
🔥 fix: remove deprecated legacy code
🦺 feat: add input validation for user registration form
💚 fix: resolve failing CI pipeline tests
📈 feat: implement analytics tracking for user engagement
🔒️ fix: strengthen authentication password requirements
♿️ feat: improve form accessibility for screen readers
Example of splitting commits:
First commit: ✨ feat: add new solc version type definitions
Second commit: 📝 docs: update documentation for new solc versions
Third commit: 🔧 chore: update package.json dependencies
Fourth commit: 🏷️ feat: add type definitions for new API endpoints
Fifth commit: 🧵 feat: improve concurrency handling in worker threads
Sixth commit: 🚨 fix: resolve linting issues in new code
Seventh commit: ✅ test: add unit tests for new solc version features
Eighth commit: 🔒️ fix: update dependencies with security vulnerabilities
Command Options
no verify : Skip running the pre commit checks (lint, build, generate:docs)
Branch Naming Convention
When committing on master or main , the command will ask if you want to create a new branch. If yes, it creates a branch following this pattern:
Components:
<type : The commit type (feature, fix, docs, refactor, perf, test, chore, etc.)
<git username : Your git username (obtained from git config user.name or the system username)
<description : A kebab case description of the change (e.g., add user auth , fix login bug )
Examples:
feature/leovs09/add new command
fix/johndoe/resolve memory leak
docs/alice/update api docs
refactor/bob/simplify error handling
chore/charlie/update dependencies
Workflow:
1. Command detects you're on master or main
2. Asks: "You're on the main branch. Do you want to create a separate branch?"
3. If "No": Proceeds with commit on current branch
4. If "Yes": Analyzes your changes to determine the type, asks for a brief description, creates the branch, and proceeds with commit
Important Notes
By default, pre commit checks ( pnpm lint , pnpm build , pnpm generate:docs ) will run to ensure code quality
If these checks fail, you'll be asked if you want to proceed with the commit anyway or fix the issues first
If specific files are already staged, the command will only commit those files
If no files are staged, it will automatically stage all modified and new files
The commit message will be constructed based on the changes detected
Before committing, the command will review the diff to identify if multiple commits would be more appropriate
If suggesting multiple commits, it will help you stage and commit the changes separately
Always reviews the commit diff to ensure the message matches the changes
