--- name: commit description: ALWAYS use this skill when committing code changes — never commit directly without it. Creates commits following Sentry conventions with proper conventional commit format and issue references. Trigger on any commit, git commit, save changes, or commit message task. license: MIT --- # Sentry Commit Messages Follow these conventions when creating commits for Sentry projects. ## Prerequisites Before committing, always check the current branch: ```bash git branch --show-current ``` **If you're on `main` or `master`, you MUST create a feature branch first** — unless the user explicitly asked to commit to main. Do not ask for confirmation; default to creating the branch. ```bash # Create and switch to a new branch git checkout -b <type>/<short-description> ``` Branch naming should follow the pattern: `<type>/<short-description>` where type matches the commit type (e.g., `feat/add-user-auth`, `fix/null-pointer-error`, `ref/extract-validation`). ## Format ``` <type>(<scope>): <subject> <body> <footer> ``` The header is required. Scope is optional. All lines must stay under 100 characters. ## Commit Types | Type | Purpose | |------|---------| | `feat` | New feature | | `fix` | Bug fix | | `ref` | Refactoring (no behavior change) | | `perf` | Performance improvement | | `docs` | Documentation only | | `test` | Test additions or corrections | | `build` | Build system or dependencies | | `ci` | CI configuration | | `chore` | Maintenance tasks | | `style` | Code formatting (no logic change) | | `meta` | Repository metadata | | `license` | License changes | ## Subject Line Rules - Use imperative, present tense: "Add feature" not "Added feature" - Capitalize the first letter - No period at the end - Maximum 70 characters ## Body Guidelines - Explain **what** and **why**, not how - Use imperative mood and present tense - Include motivation for the change - Contrast with previous behavior when relevant ## Footer: Issue References Reference issues in the footer using these patterns: ``` Fixes GH-1234 Fixes #1234 Fixes SENTRY-1234 Refs LINEAR-ABC-123 ``` - `Fixes` closes the issue when merged - `Refs` links without closing ## AI-Generated Changes When changes were primarily generated by a coding agent (like Claude Code), include the Co-Authored-By attribution in the commit footer: ``` Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> ``` This is the only indicator of AI involvement that should appear in commits. Do not add phrases like "Generated by AI", "Written with Claude", or similar markers in the subject, body, or anywhere else in the commit message. ## Examples ### Simple fix ``` fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint The user API could return null for deleted accounts, causing a crash in the dashboard. Add null check before accessing user properties. Fixes SENTRY-5678 Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> ``` ### Feature with scope ``` feat(alerts): Add Slack thread replies for alert updates When an alert is updated or resolved, post a reply to the original Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related notifications grouped together. Refs GH-1234 ``` ### Refactor ``` ref: Extract common validation logic to shared module Move duplicate validation code from three endpoints into a shared validator class. No behavior change. ``` ### Breaking change ``` feat(api)!: Remove deprecated v1 endpoints Remove all v1 API endpoints that were deprecated in version 23.1. Clients should migrate to v2 endpoints. BREAKING CHANGE: v1 endpoints no longer available Fixes SENTRY-9999 ``` ## Revert Format ``` revert: feat(api): Add new endpoint This reverts commit abc123def456. Reason: Caused performance regression in production. ``` ## Principles - Each commit should be a single, stable change - Commits should be independently reviewable - The repository should be in a working state after each commit ## References - [Sentry Commit Messages](https://develop.sentry.dev/engineering-practices/commit-messages/)

git-commit
github/awesome-copilot
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
git-workflow-and-versioning
addyosmani/agent-skills
Structures git workflow practices. Use when making any code change. Use when committing, branching, resolving conflicts, or when you need to organize work across multiple parallel streams. Use when cutting a release, choosing a semantic version bump, tagging, or writing a changelog.
resolve-merge-conflicts
warpdotdev/common-skills
Resolve Git merge conflicts by extracting only unresolved paths, conflict hunks, and compact diffs instead of loading whole files into context. Use when a merge, rebase, cherry-pick, or stash pop stops on conflicts, when `git status` shows unmerged paths, or when files contain conflict markers.
