# Git Commit Workflow
Follow these steps to create a high-quality commit:
## 1. Review Changes
- Use `git_status` to see what files have changed
- Use `git_diff` to review the actual changes
- Ensure you understand what's being committed
## 2. Write Commit Message
Create a commit message that:
- Starts with a concise summary (50 chars or less)
- Uses imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- Includes details in the body if needed
- References any relevant issue numbers
## 3. Stage and Commit
- Stage only the relevant files (avoid staging unrelated changes)
- Use `run_shell` to execute: `git add <files>`
- Use `run_shell` to execute: `git commit -m "Your message"`
## 4. Verify
- Use `git_log` to confirm the commit was created correctly
- Use `git_diff` with staged flag to ensure nothing unexpected was committed
## Format Example
```
Add user authentication feature
- Implement JWT token generation
- Add login/logout endpoints
- Update user model with password hashing
Fixes #123
```
