Branch naming, commit message format, and trailer conventions for git operations.

Naming conventions for branches, commits, and trailers.

Branch Names

Format: type/short-description

Types: feature/, fix/, refactor/, docs/, test/, chore/, hotfix/

  • Lowercase kebab-case, 2–5 words
  • Include issue number when applicable: fix/123-memory-leak
  • Create from main, delete after merge

Commit Messages

Conventional Commits format:

type(scope): description

Body explaining why. Wrap at 72-74 characters.

Footer references.

Header rules:

  • Max 72 characters
  • Imperative mood, lowercase, no trailing period
  • Scope is the area of the codebase affected

Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci, build

Body is optional when the diff is under 20 lines and touches one file. Required when the change involves a decision, trade-off, or non-obvious behavior.

Assisted-by Trailer

Add to every AI-assisted commit:

Assisted-by: <agent>:<model>

Agent is your name (Kiro, Claude Code, OpenCode). Model is the model you are running on.

Discovery hints:

  • Kiro: ls -t ~/.kiro/sessions/cli/*.json | head -1 \ | xargs grep -o '"model_name": "[^"]*"' | cut -d'"' -f4
  • Claude Code: read ANTHROPIC_MODEL env var
  • Others: use the model name from your session context
