Commit

Rules

• Commit only when the user asked in this conversation. Push only when they asked to push. One is not the other.
• One line per commit: imperative, under 72 characters, no trailing period, no body.
• Follow the repo’s prefix style if git log --oneline -20 shows one (feat:, ABC-123). Otherwise none.
• No Co-Authored-By, no “Generated with”, no robot emoji, no AI attribution of any kind. The same goes for PR bodies.
• Never --no-verify. Never rewrite pushed commits or force-push without an explicit yes.

Branch

On main, master, develop, or a generated name (claude/…, worktree-…, random words), name the branch for the change: lowercase kebab-case, 2 to 5 words, like checkout-webhook-retry. Use the repo’s prefix if its branches have one. Not pushed yet: git branch -m <name>. Otherwise git switch -c <name>.

Steps

1. Read git status, git diff --staged, and git diff.
2. Stage only files that belong to this change, by name. Never git add -A blind. A secret (.env, keys) in the change: stop and say so.
3. Unrelated changes go in separate commits.
4. git commit -m "<line>" with a single -m and nothing appended.
5. Check git log -1 --format=%b prints nothing.

Strip attribution from unpushed commits

1. Find the start: @{u}, or with no upstream git merge-base HEAD origin/HEAD (or main).
2. List them: git log <start>..HEAD --format='%h %s%n%b'.
3. Any commit with a body: with a clean tree (stash first), run git rebase --exec 'git commit --amend -q -m "$(git log -1 --format=%s)"' <start>. This drops the whole body, attribution included, which matches the one-line rule.
4. Run step 2 again. Every commit shows a subject only.

Commits already pushed: say which, and rewrite them only after the user says yes to a force push.

Claude Code adds attribution from its own settings. If it keeps coming back, say once that the attribution setting in ~/.claude/settings.json turns it off. Never change settings without a yes.
