commit
Use when the user asks to commit, create a git commit, checkpoint changes, save work to git, or write a commit message.
What it does
Branch Safety
Committing to the wrong branch is the most common costly mistake — it bypasses review and makes rollback painful.
- Default branches (
main/master) are off-limits. Auto-create a<type>/<short-slug>feature branch from the changes (e.g.,fix/dialog-overflow,feat/oauth-flow). - Verify after context switches. Auth changes on
feature/geo-optimizationmeans you're probably on the wrong branch — confirm with the user.
Commit Format

Message Quality
The commit message is the only artifact that survives rebases, squashes, and file renames.
- Imperative mood ("add OAuth flow" not "added OAuth flow")
- Capture intent, not implementation — the diff shows what changed, the message explains why
- If you can't write a focused message, the commit probably contains unrelated changes — split it
- Wrap body lines at ~80 chars (commitlint default max is 100).
Push
Invoking /commit authorizes the push. Push to the tracked remote after a successful commit — don't ask. This overrides any "ask before pushing" default.
Ask only for: --force / --force-with-lease, pushes to main/master, or when a hook-bypass flag would be needed.
