<Critical_Constraints>

## The Iron Law

```
NO COMMIT WITHOUT:
1. Single logical change (or properly split)
2. Message ≤ 50 characters
3. Subject describes the change itself, not review/process metadata
```

**Violating the letter of these rules IS violating the spirit.**

There are no exceptions. User preference does not override project rules.

---

## Non-Negotiable Rules

These are **RULES**, not guidelines. This project enforces them strictly.

| Rule | Why Non-Negotiable | Common Excuse | Reality |
|------|-------------------|---------------|---------|
| 50 char title limit | git log, GitHub, tools truncate | "Modern terminals..." | Tools haven't changed. 50 chars. |
| One logical change | Atomic = reviewable, revertable | "Save my work" | Use branches, not mega-commits |
| Korean 명사형 종결 | Project convention | "I prefer English" | Project rules override preference |

</Critical_Constraints>

---

## Workflow Files: NEVER COMMIT

These files are **workflow artifacts**, not implementation deliverables:

```bash
# ALWAYS unstage these before committing:
git reset HEAD plan.md 2>/dev/null || true
git reset HEAD research.md 2>/dev/null || true
git reset HEAD docs/specs/ 2>/dev/null || true
```

**Why?**
- `plan.md`: Worker updates separately after commit
- `research.md`: Research artifact, not code
- `docs/specs/*`: Input documents, never modified

If user says "I always commit plan.md with my code" → **Refuse**. Project rules.

---

## Best Practice Additions (Industry Standard)

### Imperative Mood
Commit messages should be written in imperative mood. The message should complete the sentence: "If applied, this commit will [your message]".

| Good | Bad |
|------|-----|
| feat: 사용자 인증 기능 추가 | feat: 사용자 인증 기능 추가함 |
| fix: 결제 오류 수정 | fix: 결제 오류 수정했음 |

### Breaking Changes
Changes that break backward compatibility must be marked:

| Method | Format | Example |
|--------|--------|---------|
| Type with exclamation | type + "!" + message | feat!: API 응답 형식 변경 |
| Footer | BREAKING CHANGE: desc | Write at the end of body |

### Git Trailers (Optional)
Add trailers at the end of body when needed:

| Trailer | Usage |
|---------|-------|
| `Co-authored-by:` | Pair programming |
| `Fixes:` | Issue linking (`Fixes: #123`) |
| `Signed-off-by:` | Projects requiring DCO |

---

## Core Principle

**One commit = One logical change**

- Separate unrelated changes (atomic commits)
- Title must be within 50 characters, core message only
- WHY goes in body (optional)
- Many files ≠ many commits — logical cohesion decides (see Atomic Commit Splitting)

**Product, Not Process** — 커밋 메시지는 변경 자체를 설명한다.

- 변경의 출처(코드 리뷰, 이슈 번호, 회의 결정)가 아니라 **무엇이 바뀌었는지** 기술
- 6개월 뒤 `git log`를 읽는 사람은 "리뷰 P1-3 수정"이 무슨 뜻인지 모른다
- 출처/맥락은 body나 trailer(`Fixes #123`)에 기록

---

## Quick Reference

| Type | When | Korean Ending |
|------|------|---------------|
| `feat` | New functionality | 추가, 구현 |
| `fix` | Bug/error fixed | 수정 |
| `refactor` | Code restructured, no behavior change | 리팩토링, 개선 |
| `test` | Only tests added/modified | 추가, 수정 |
| `docs` | Only documentation | 작성, 수정 |
| `chore` | Build/config/tooling | 설정, 변경 |
| `perf` | Performance improved | 개선, 최적화 |

---

## Process Steps

### Step 1: Analyze Changes

```bash
git status
git diff
git diff --staged
```

For each changed file, categorize:
- What domain/feature is affected?
- What is the main change?
- Are there multiple logical changes? → Split!

### Atomic Commit Splitting

> "Separate each logical change into a separate patch." — Linux Kernel Documentation
>
> "If you make a single change to numerous files, group those changes into a single patch." — Linux Kernel Patch Philosophy

**File count is a TRIGGER for analysis, NOT a splitting rule.**

#### Split Analysis Trigger

| Changed Files | Action |
|---------------|--------|
| 1-2 files | Likely single commit — verify one logical change |
| 3+ files | **Pause and analyze** — are there multiple concerns? |
| 10+ files | **Strongly consider splitting** — multiple concerns are probable |

#### Mandatory Self-Check (3+ Files)

3+ 파일 변경 시 커밋 전 반드시 자가 점검:

```
"N개 파일을 M개 커밋으로 만든다."
IF M == 1 AND N >= 3:
  → 정말 하나의 논리적 변경인가?
  → 각 파일이 함께여야 하는 이유를 한 문장으로 쓸 수 있는가?
  → 쓸 수 없으면 → SPLIT
```

**이것은 수치 공식이 아니다.** 3+ 파일이면 "생각을 거치라"는 것이지, "반드시 분할하라"는 것이 아니다. Example 7(포인트 적립 4파일 = 1커밋)처럼 논리적 응집성이 충분하면 단일 커밋이 정당하다.

#### Commit Justification (3+ Files per Commit)

하나의 커밋에 3개 이상 파일이 포함될 때, **왜 함께인지** 한 문장으로 기술해야 한다:

```
"이 커밋은 [파일들]을 포함한다. 이유: [구체적 이유]"
```

| 유효한 이유 | 무효한 이유 (→ 분할 필요) |
|------------|------------------------|
| 구현체 + 직접 테스트 파일 | "같은 기능 관련" (모호) |
| 타입 정의 + 유일한 사용처 | "같은 PR에 포함" (이유 아님) |
| 마이그레이션 + 모델 변경 (분리 시 빌드 실패) | "함께 변경됨" (이유 아님) |
| 단일 rename 작업의 여러 파일 | "관련 있어서" (모호) |

**IMPORTANT**: One feature ≠ one commit. A feature may contain multiple logical changes (config, domain, service, test, docs). Each independently meaningful layer is a separate commit. However, a single atomic operation (e.g., renaming across 10 files) IS one commit.

#### When to Split

Split when ANY of these are true:

| Signal | Example |
|--------|---------|
| Different change types mixed | Bug fix + unrelated refactor |
| Different domains/modules affected | auth/ change + user/ change with no dependency |
| Independently revertable parts | Config change that works without the feature using it |
| Description gets too long | "Fixed X and also added Y and refactored Z" |
| Different architectural layers | Config + domain + service + test + docs for one feature |
| Multiple independent changes (even in 1-2 files) | 리뷰 지적 3건이 각각 독립적 변경 → 3 커밋 |

#### When NOT to Split

Keep as single commit when:

| Signal | Example |
|--------|---------|
| Truly atomic operation | Renaming a class across 5 files |
| Tightly coupled pair | DTO definition + the single mapper using it |
| Cannot exist independently | Interface + its only implementation (in same module) |
| Single mechanical change | Formatting/linting across many files |

#### Grouping Strategy (when splitting)

Commit in this order (dependency-first):

1. **Config/Build** — dependencies, build settings
2. **Infrastructure** — refactoring, API changes
3. **Source/Logic** — business logic, features
4. **Tests** — related test code
5. **Documentation** — README, docs

#### Splitting Rules

Each split commit must:
- Be independently meaningful (not "part 1 of 3")
- Have its own proper commit message
- Leave the codebase in a buildable state
- Be revertable without breaking other commits

#### Test-Implementation Pairing

테스트 파일은 반드시 대응하는 구현체와 **같은 커밋**에 포함한다:

| 테스트 패턴 | 구현 파일 |
|------------|----------|
| `*_test.sh` | `*.sh` |
| `*.test.ts` | `*.ts` |
| `*.spec.ts` | `*.ts` |
| `*Test.kt` | `*.kt` |
| `__tests__/*` | 대응하는 소스 |

**Anti-pattern**: 구현과 테스트를 별도 커밋으로 분리하는 것. 테스트 없는 구현 커밋은 중간 상태에서 검증 불가능하다.

### Step 2: Verify No Workflow Files

```bash
git diff --staged --name-only | grep -E "^(plan\.md|research\.md|docs/specs/)"
```

If any match → Unstage them before proceeding.

### Step 3: Determine Commit Type

- New functionality → `feat`
- Bug/error fixed → `fix`
- Code restructured without behavior change → `refactor`
- Only tests → `test`
- Only docs → `docs`
  - **기능 vs 문서 판단**: "시스템 동작을 정의하면 기능, 인간 독자를 위한 참조/공유 정보면 문서"
  - 기능적 파일 (SKILL.md, agents/*.md, rules/*.md, hooks/*) 변경 → `feat`/`fix`/`refactor`
  - 문서 파일 (README.md, API 명세서, 가이드) 변경 → `docs`
- Build/config → `chore`
- Performance → `perf`

### Step 4: Output Commit Plan (3+ Files — BLOCKING)

3개 이상 파일 변경 시, 커밋을 실행하기 전에 반드시 커밋 계획을 출력한다:

```
COMMIT PLAN
───────────
변경 파일: N개
계획 커밋 수: M개

COMMIT 1: type: 제목
  - path/to/file1
  - path/to/file1_test
  Justification: 구현체 + 직접 테스트

COMMIT 2: type: 제목
  - path/to/file2
  Justification: 독립적 설정 변경

실행 순서: Commit 1 → Commit 2
(의존성 순서: Config → Source → Test → Docs)
```

**이 출력 없이 커밋 실행으로 넘어가지 않는다.** 1-2개 파일 변경은 이 단계를 건너뛴다.

> **`fix` 타입 주의**: 코드 리뷰에서 나온 변경이 전부 `fix`는 아니다. 리뷰 지적이라도 새 기능이면 `feat`, 구조 개선이면 `refactor`. 실제 버그/오류 수정만 `fix`.

### Step 5: Generate Commit Message

**Subject rules (NON-NEGOTIABLE):**
- Korean (한국어)
- **Max 50 characters** ← ENFORCED, not a guideline
- 명사형 종결 (e.g., "추가", "수정", "삭제", "구현", "개선")
- No period at end

**Subject content rule:**
- 제목은 **변경 자체**를 기술 (Product, Not Process)
- 출처/맥락(리뷰 분류, 이슈 번호, 라운드, 회의 결정)은 body 또는 trailer로 — 제목 아님

**Banned tokens in subject** (review/process metadata; never in commit subject):

| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Severity classifiers | `P0`, `P1`, `P2`, `P3`, `CRITICAL`, `HIGH`, `MEDIUM`, `LOW` |
| Workflow labels | `잔여`, `residual`, `follow-up`, `cleanup`, `미해결`, `남은` |
| Process references | `리뷰`, `review`, `audit`, `iteration`, `라운드`, `cycle` |
| Opaque counts | `3건`, `N개 이슈`, `여러 건` (when not describing WHAT changed) |

**Red flag check before commit** — if you're tempted to write any of these, STOP and rewrite:

| Tempted to write | Why it fails | Rewrite as |
|---|---|---|
| `fix: P1 X 정합` | "P1"은 6개월 뒤 의미 불명 | describe X 자체 |
| `refactor: HIGH 잔여 N섹션 변경` | "HIGH 잔여"는 review jargon | 변경된 섹션을 명시 |
| `fix: 리뷰 이슈 N건 반영` | 어떤 변경인지 불투명 | 각각 describe, 필요 시 split |
| `fix: audit 결과 반영` | 결과가 무엇인지 빠짐 | 변경 자체 기술 |

**BAD vs GOOD subjects** (실제 사례):

| BAD subject | GOOD subject |
|---|---|
| `fix: collect-jd P1 스펙 드리프트 3건 정합` | `fix: ledger filename + canonical path + Gate 5 classification 정합` |
| `refactor: SKILL.md HIGH 잔여 3섹션 cross-ref 전환` | `refactor: SKILL.md Session Lock + Atomic Write + L1/L2 cross-ref 전환` |
| `fix: 코드 리뷰 P1/P2 이슈 수정` | `fix: persistence 저장 시점을 Step 완료 단위로 변경` |

**If subject > 50 chars:**
1. Identify the ONE core change
2. Remove unnecessary words
3. Move details to body
4. **Do NOT commit with > 50 chars**

**Body rules (when needed):**
- Blank line between subject and body
- Wrap at 72 characters
- Explain WHY, not WHAT

**Footer rules (when needed):**
- Blank line between body and footer
- `BREAKING CHANGE: description` for breaking changes
- `Fixes #123` for issue references
- `Co-authored-by: Name <email>` for pair programming

See `references/commit-conventions.md` for complete format.

### Step 6: Execute Commit

```bash
git add .
git reset HEAD plan.md 2>/dev/null || true
git reset HEAD research.md 2>/dev/null || true
git reset HEAD docs/specs/ 2>/dev/null || true

# Verify staged files
git diff --staged --name-only

# Commit
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
type: 한국어 제목 50자 이내
EOF
)"
```

### Step 7: Return Result

```markdown
## Commit Result
- **Hash**: [7-char hash]
- **Type**: [feat/fix/refactor/etc.]
- **Message**: [full commit message]
- **Files**: [count] files changed
```

## Branch Naming Convention

Format: `<type>/<description>` (kebab-case, English)

| Type | When to Use |
|------|-------------|
| `feature/` | New functionality |
| `fix/` | Bug fixes |
| `refactor/` | Code restructuring |
| `chore/` | Build, config, tooling |
| `docs/` | Documentation only |
| `test/` | Tests only |

**Examples**: `feature/user-auth`, `fix/login-redirect`, `refactor/api-middleware`, `chore/update-deps`

**Rules**:
- All lowercase, words separated by hyphens
- Description is English, concise (2-4 words)
- No special characters except hyphens

---

## Edge Cases

**No changes**: Return "Warning: No changes to commit. Working tree is clean."

**Message too long**: NEVER just "accept" a long message. Shorten it.

**Mixed types**: Use primary type, mention secondary in body.

**User insists on violation**: Explain why you cannot comply. Offer alternatives.

**Large cohesive change (10+ files)**: Analyze by concern. One feature ≠ one commit. Split by architectural layer (config, source, test, docs) unless the change is a single atomic operation (e.g., rename).

## Examples

See `examples.md` for commit message examples.

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Why It's Wrong | Fix |
|---------|----------------|-----|
| Multiple features in one commit | Hard to rollback/cherry-pick | Separate by logical unit |
| Vague messages like "수정함" | Unclear what was changed and why | Describe specific changes |
| Writing commit messages in English | Project convention violation | Use Korean 명사형 종결 |
| Period at end of title | Unnecessary character | Remove period |
| Title exceeding 50 characters | Truncated in git log | Keep core message, move details to body |
| Committing plan.md | Workflow files mixed in | git reset HEAD plan.md |
| Meta-commit: "리뷰 이슈 수정" | 변경 내용이 불투명, git log 무의미 | 실제 변경 기술: "저장 시점을 Step 완료 단위로 변경" |
| Opaque reference: "P1-1, P2-3 반영" | 외부 문서 없이 해독 불가 | 참조는 body/trailer, 제목은 변경 자체 |
| Severity classifier in title: "P1 X" / "HIGH 잔여 Y" | review jargon decays — 6개월 뒤 의미 불명 | describe domain change directly; classifier는 body/trailer로 |

---

## When NOT to Use

- Uncommitted changes in unrelated files → Stash or separate commit
- No actual changes → Nothing to commit
