Commit Changes

Create a single local commit for Foldkit changes. Do not push.

Workflow

1. Inspect the worktree with git status --short, git diff HEAD, git branch --show-current, and git log --oneline -10.
2. Identify changed files owned by the current task. Do not stage unrelated user changes.
3. Check whether changed files touch any published package path:
   • packages/foldkit/ -> foldkit
   • packages/ui/ -> @foldkit/ui
   • packages/devtools/ -> @foldkit/devtools
   • packages/create-foldkit-app/ -> create-foldkit-app
   • packages/vite-plugin-foldkit/ -> @foldkit/vite-plugin
   • packages/devtools-mcp/ -> @foldkit/devtools-mcp
   • packages/oxlint-plugin-foldkit/ -> @foldkit/oxlint-plugin
4. If a published package changed, inspect .changeset/*.md excluding README.md and config.json. Verify a changeset covers each changed package.
5. If a changed published package has no covering changeset, create one:

---
'package-name': patch
---

Concise description of the change.

Use patch for bug fixes, docs, internal refactors, and metadata changes. Use minor for new features, non-breaking API additions, and breaking changes while the project is pre-1.0. Do not use major.

For breaking changes, include a brief migration note in the changeset description.

6. Run pnpm format. Inspect formatting changes and stage only files that belong to the requested commit.
7. Stage relevant files with git add.
8. Create one Conventional Commit with git commit.
9. Verify the final commit message with git log -1 --format=%B. If any body line is longer than 80 characters, amend the commit before stopping. Re-check the subject, scope, author, and branch shape after every amend.

Commit Message Rules

• Use a valid scope from AGENTS.md when one scope describes the commit's primary intent. If no valid scope cleanly describes the whole change set, omit the scope.
• Inspect the full staged diff before choosing the subject: run git diff --cached --stat and git diff --cached --name-status. If amending an existing commit message, inspect git show --stat --name-status HEAD.
• Make the subject describe the whole change set, not just one file, one subtask, or the latest edit.
• Choose the scope from the whole change set's primary intent, not from the last file edited, a helper file, or any single path in the diff.
• Use only literal valid scopes from AGENTS.md. Do not invent broad scopes such as tooling or infrastructure.
• Use an imperative title.
• Keep the subject concise.
• Include a body when the commit changes behavior, fixes a bug, adds migration or debugging context, or needs rationale that the subject cannot carry. Do not rely on changesets, PR text, or chat context to explain why the change exists.
• Use the body to explain the problem and why this approach was taken. Avoid merely restating the staged file list.
• Subject-only commits are acceptable only for trivial mechanical changes where the context is obvious from the subject and diff.
• Wrap commit body lines at 80 characters. Do this before committing or amending, and verify it afterward.
• Add ! after the scope for breaking changes.
• Do not add co-author lines.
• Do not mention Codex, Claude, or any AI assistant.

Before stopping after a commit or amend, verify:

• The subject describes the whole final diff.
• The scope is valid, or intentionally omitted for a cross-scope change.
• Body lines are wrapped at 80 characters.
• Author and committer are correct.
• The branch has the intended number of commits.

Boundaries

• Do not run the release process. Releases are automated.
• Do not edit changelogs manually.
• Do not push unless the user explicitly asks.
• If the worktree contains unrelated changes that make staging ambiguous, stop and ask which files belong in the commit.
