Smart Atomic Commits
Analyze workspace changes, split into logical atomic units, and commit with emoji conventional format.
Process
- Inspect: Run
git statusandgit diff HEADto understand changes - Auto-stage: If nothing is staged,
git addall modified and new files - Analyze: Identify if multiple distinct logical changes should be split based on:
- Different concerns (unrelated parts of codebase) - Different types (features vs fixes vs refactoring) - File patterns (source vs docs vs config) - Logical grouping (easier to understand separately) - Size (large changes clearer when broken down)
- Commit: For each atomic unit, stage relevant files and commit
Commit Format
type(scope)!: emoji description| Component | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
type | Yes | Conventional commit type |
(scope) | No | Lowercase, hyphenated (e.g., user-auth, api-client). Omit only when truly global |
! | No | Breaking change indicator |
emoji | Yes | After the colon, before description |
description | Yes | Imperative mood, present tense |
Constraints: First line under 72 characters. Focus on "why" over "what". Imperative mood ("add" not "added").
Breaking Changes
Add ! after scope/type. Include BREAKING CHANGE footer:
git commit -m "feat(api)!: 💥 change auth response format" \
-m "BREAKING CHANGE: /auth/login now returns { token, user } instead of { accessToken, refreshToken }"Commit Types
