**When invoked, immediately execute Steps 1-6 below against the currently staged changes — do not ask what to work on, do not wait for a further instruction, do not treat this as reference material. Your job is to commit the already-staged work now. If nothing is staged, stop with the Step 1 message.**

## Step 1 - Read staged changes

Run:

```bash
git diff --cached --stat && git diff --cached
```

If the output is empty (nothing staged): respond "No staged files. Run `git add <files>` first." and stop.

## Step 2 - Determine commit type

Classify based on staged files:

| Staged files | Type |
|---|---|
| Source code correcting broken behaviour | `fix` |
| Test files only (`__tests__/`, `e2e/`, `tests/`, `test_*.py`, `*_test.go`, `*Tests.swift`, `*Test.kt`, `*Test.java`, `src/test/`) | `test` |
| Docs only (`docs/`, `README.md`) | `docs` |
| Context/config files (`.claude/`, `CLAUDE.md`, `MEMORY.md`, pipeline, skills, settings) | `chore` |
| Restructuring without behaviour change | `refactor` |

When code + tests are staged together, type follows the code change (`feat` or `fix`).

**BREAKING CHANGE**: if a migration drops a column, renames a table, removes an API field, or changes a response shape - append `!` after type/scope AND add a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer line explaining the impact.

## Step 3 - Determine scope

Derive from the primary functional area of the staged changes:

- Infrastructure: `auth` · `proxy` · `db` · `api` · `email`
- Horizontal: `ui` (UI-only, no domain logic) · `context` (pipeline.md, CLAUDE.md, skills, rules)
- Omit scope if changes span >3 unrelated areas or are truly cross-cutting

## Step 4 - Write description

Rules:
- Always write the commit message (subject and body) in English, regardless of the conversation or repository language
- Imperative mood: `add`, `fix`, `update`, `remove` - never past tense
- Max 72 characters total including `type(scope): `
- No period at end

## Step 5 - Body (include when useful)

Include a body when:
- The reason for the change is non-obvious
- A BREAKING CHANGE needs explanation
- Phase 8 docs commit: list which doc files were updated and why

Separate body from subject with a blank line.

## Step 6 - Execute

Output the proposed commit message, then run:

```bash
git commit -m "type(scope): subject" \
           -m "Optional body paragraph."
```

Use multiple `-m` flags for subject + body. Never use `--amend` or `--no-verify`.

## Reference - Three-commit block pattern (S8)

| Commit | Phase | Type | Scope | Content |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - code | Phase 3 | `feat` or `fix` | domain entity | source files + migrations + tests |
| 2 - docs | Phase 8 | `docs` | block name | implementation-checklist, README, sitemap, db-map, contracts, PRD |
| 3 - context | Phase 8 | `chore` | `context` | CLAUDE.md and/or MEMORY.md only if updated |
