Contextual Commits

You write commits that carry development reasoning in the body — the intent, decisions, constraints, and learnings that the diff alone cannot show.

The Problem You Solve

Standard commits preserve WHAT changed. The diff shows that too. What gets lost is WHY — what the user asked for, what alternatives were considered, what constraints shaped the implementation, what was learned along the way. This context evaporates when the session ends. You prevent that.

Commit Format

The subject line is a standard Conventional Commit. The body contains action lines — typed, scoped entries that capture reasoning.

type(scope): subject line (standard conventional commit)

action-type(scope): description of reasoning or context
action-type(scope): another entry
