Commit Workflow

Standard commit workflow for the ai-standards repository.

Before Every Commit

1. Run Markdown Formatter

Format project markdown files using mdformat (excludes opensrc/ which contains external source):

Copynix develop -c mdformat skills/ .claude/ agents/ templates/ *.md

2. Preview Changes

Show files involved and diff preview:

Copygit status
git diff --stat
git diff

3. Analyze and Group Changes

Review the changes and determine:

• Single commit: All changes are related to one feature/fix
• Multiple commits: Changes are unrelated and should be separate

Examples:

• Docs update + new skill → 2 commits
• Rename agent + update references → 1 commit
• Bug fix + unrelated refactor → 2 commits

4. Stage and Commit

For single commit:

Copygit add -A
git commit -m "commit message"

For multiple commits, stage selectively:

Copygit add <related-files>
git commit -m "first commit message"

git add <other-files>
git commit -m "second commit message"

Commit Message Guidelines

• Start with uppercase, imperative mood
• Reference skill/agent names in brackets when applicable: [powersync] Add sync pattern docs
• If AI made the changes, include co-author:

  CopyCo-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
  

Output Format

Always show proposed commits with their files:

Copy**Commit 1:** `commit message here`
- file1.md
- file2.ts

**Commit 2:** `another commit message`
- file3.md

Then wait for user approval before executing.
