Create well-formatted git commits using the just pm command with emoji prefixes and conventional commit style.

When to Use

  • When the user asks to commit and push changes
  • When the user mentions "just pm" or wants to create a commit
  • When the user asks for help with commit messages
  • After completing a task and the user wants to save progress

Emoji Reference

Use ONLY these emojis for commit messages:

EmojiCodeTypeDescription
:sparkles:featNew feature or capability
🐛:bug:fixBug fix
🔧:wrench:choreConfiguration, tooling, or maintenance
📝:memo:docsDocumentation changes
♻️:recycle:refactorCode refactoring without behavior change
🎨:art:styleCode style, formatting, structure
:white_check_mark:testAdding or updating tests
🚀:rocket:perfPerformance improvements
🔒:lock:securitySecurity fixes or improvements
⬆️:arrow_up:depsDependency updates
🗑️:wastebasket:removeRemoving code or files
🚧:construction:wipWork in progress

Instructions

  1. Gather context - Run these commands to understand the changes:

    git status
    git diff --staged
    git diff
    
  2. Analyze changes - Determine the primary type of change:

    • New functionality → feat (✨)
    • Bug fix → fix (🐛)
    • Documentation → docs (📝)
    • Refactoring → refactor (♻️)
    • Configuration/tooling → chore (🔧)
    • Tests → test (✅)
  3. Compose the message - Format: <emoji> <type>: <short description>

    • Keep it under 72 characters total
    • Use imperative mood ("add feature" not "added feature")
    • Be specific but concise
    • Lowercase after the type prefix
  4. Execute the commit - Run:

    just pm "<emoji> <type>: <description>"
    

Examples

Good commit messages:

  • ✨ feat: add user authentication endpoint
  • 🐛 fix: resolve null pointer in config parser
  • 📝 docs: update API documentation for v2
  • 🔧 chore: add commiter skill for git workflow
  • ♻️ refactor: simplify error handling logic
  • ✅ test: add unit tests for payment module
  • ⬆️ deps: bump fastapi to 0.110.0

Bad commit messages (avoid these):

  • fix stuff (too vague)
  • ✨ feat: Added the new feature for users (past tense, too long)
  • 🎉 party: celebrate (wrong emoji, wrong type)

Multi-Change Commits

If changes span multiple categories, choose the primary one or suggest splitting into multiple commits. Prefer atomic commits that focus on a single concern.

Pre-Commit Checklist

Before committing, verify:

  • All changes are intentional (review git diff)
  • No sensitive data (credentials, secrets) in staged files
  • The commit message accurately describes the changes
  • Tests pass (if applicable)
