version: "1.0.2" name: commit-rules description: "Shared commit message rules and technical constraints referenced by $stage-commit and $commit-staged. Not typically invoked directly."

Commit Rules

Commit Message Rules

• Match the style from git log -n 10 --oneline
• Concise and descriptive
• Imperative mood, present tense
• Aim for ≤100 characters in the subject
• No commit description—summarize everything in the message
• Don't reference .turbo/ content (filenames, acceptance criteria, step numbers, headings) in commit messages. .turbo/ is gitignored, so these references would be opaque to anyone reading without local copies.

Technical Constraints

• Use git commit -m "message" directly—do not use heredoc syntax (sandbox blocks temp file creation)
• Never bypass commit signing (--no-gpg-sign, -c commit.gpgsign=false). If signing fails, use request_user_input to let the user resolve it—they may need to approve a key prompt.
