# Change Summary
When you modify this repo, **end every response that includes code changes** with a **Change summary** section.
## Required format
Split the summary into four buckets. Omit a bucket only when nothing changed in it.
```md
## Change summary
### Code
| File | + | − |
|------|---|---|
| `path/to/file.ts` | 12 | 3 |
**Subtotal:** +N −M across K files
### Tests
| File | + | − |
|------|---|---|
| `path/to/file.test.ts` | 4 | 1 |
**Subtotal:** +N −M across K files
### Config
| File | + | − |
|------|---|---|
| `server/plugins/db.ts` | 1 | 1 |
**Subtotal:** +N −M across K files
### Docs
| File | + | − |
|------|---|---|
| `AGENTS.md` | 2 | 2 |
**Subtotal:** +N −M across K files
**Total:** +N −M across K files
```
## How to classify files
| Bucket | Include |
|--------|---------|
| **Code** | `actions/*.ts` (non-test), `app/**`, `server/**` except test-only helpers |
| **Tests** | `**/*.test.ts`, `**/test-*.ts`, in-memory test DB SQL in `server/db/test-tasks-table.ts` |
| **Config** | DB migrations and table defs (`server/plugins/db.ts`, `server/db/schema.ts`), `package.json`, `tsconfig*.json`, `vite.config.*`, CI/workflow YAML, env templates |
| **Docs** | `*.md`, skill files under `.agents/skills/` and `.claude/skills/` |
New untracked files: list under the right bucket with **+lines 0** (all lines are additions).
Renames/deletes: show the old path with deletions and the new path with additions, or one row with net +/−.
## How to compute counts
Prefer git over guessing:
```bash
git diff --numstat
git status --short # for untracked files
wc -l <new-file> # line count for new files
```
Use line counts from `git diff --numstat` (added, removed). Do not approximate from memory.
## When to include it
- Always after implementation, refactor, or fix commits in the working tree.
- Skip only for pure Q&A with **no** file edits.
- If the user asked only for a review with no changes, skip the summary.
Place the change summary **before** the final 🟢/🟡/🔴 status line.
## Commit Message Conventions
- Never include `Made-with: Cursor` in commit messages. Remove it if it appears
in a generated message.
- Use one of these prefixes:
- `feature: ...` or `feature(PROJECT): ...`
- `fix: ...` or `fix(PROJECT): ...`
- `refactor: ...` or `refactor(PROJECT): ...`
- `technical: ...` or `technical(PROJECT): ...`
- `chore: ...` or `chore(PROJECT): ...`
- `PROJECT` is optional. If provided, it must be one of `generator` or `web`.
- Before creating any commit, always:
- ask for confirmation,
- show the proposed commit message first,
- commit only after explicit user approval.
