git-naming
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_MODELenv var - Others: use the model name from your session context
