Commit Conventions

Overview

Plan and execute commits that follow Conventional Commits plus any repository rules in AGENTS.md. Default to multiple commits when changes span more than one logical unit.

Workflow

1. •Read AGENTS.md (repo root or nearest) and apply any git/commit rules.
2. •Inspect the working tree: git status -sb, git diff --stat, and focused git diff as needed.
3. •Group changes by logical unit (feature, fix, refactor, docs, build/CI, etc.).
4. •If more than one logical unit exists, create multiple commits. Propose a brief commit plan before committing.
5. •Stage per group (git add -p or specific paths), then commit with a Conventional Commit message.
6. •If the user asks for a single commit but changes are multiple logical units, warn and ask for confirmation before combining.

Conventional Commit Format

• •Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>
• •Scope is optional unless AGENTS.md requires it. Use short, stable areas (e.g., dsp_core, plugin, ci, fastlane).
• •Subject is imperative, lowercase, and has no trailing period.

Type Selection

• •Prefer repo-specific types/scopes from AGENTS.md.
• •Otherwise use standard types: feat, fix, refactor, perf, docs, test, build, ci, chore, revert.

File Hygiene

• •Exclude unrelated changes or generated artifacts unless explicitly required.
• •If untracked files appear, confirm they are intended before staging.
• •Avoid mixing unrelated existing changes into the same commit.

Examples

• •fix(ci): use macos match certificates for signing
• •build: split plugin signing into notarized release artifacts
