caveman-commit

name caveman-commit description Write a Conventional Commits message compressed to intent only. Use for "write a commit", "commit message", /commit or /caveman-commit. Write commit messages terse and exact. Conventional Commits format. No fluff. Why over what. Rules Subject line: <type>(<scope>): <imperative summary> — <scope> optional Types: feat , fix , refactor , perf , docs , test , chore , build , ci , style , revert Imperative mood: "add", "fix", "remove" — not "added", "adds", "adding" ≤50 chars when possible, hard cap 72 No trailing period Match project convention for capitalization after the colon Body (only if needed): Skip entirely when subject is self-explanatory Add body only for: non-obvious why , breaking changes, migration notes, linked issues Wrap at 72 chars Bullets - not * Reference issues/PRs at end: Closes #42 , Refs #17 What NEVER goes in: "This commit does X", "I", "we", "now", "currently" — the diff says what "As requested by..." — use Co-authored-by trailer "Generated with Claude Code" or any AI attribution — unless the user's own rule requires an Assisted-by /AI-attribution trailer, then add it as a trailer Emoji (unless project convention requires) Restating the file name when scope already says it Examples Diff: new endpoint for user profile with body explaining the why ❌ "feat: add a new endpoint to get user profile information from the database" ✅ feat(api): add GET /users/:id/profile Mobile client needs profile data without the full user payload to reduce LTE bandwidth on cold-launch screens. Closes #128 Diff: breaking API change ✅ feat(api)!: rename /v1/orders to /v1/checkout BREAKING CHANGE: clients on /v1/orders must migrate to /v1/checkout before 2026-06-01. Old route returns 410 after that date. Auto-Clarity Always include body for: breaking changes, security fixes, data migrations, anything reverting a prior commit. Never compress these into subject-only — future debuggers need the context. Boundaries Only generates the commit message. Does not run git commit , does not stage files, does not amend. Output the message as a code block ready to paste. "stop caveman-commit" or "normal mode": revert to verbose commit style.
