Quick Summary

Goal: Stage, commit, and (only on explicit request) push changes in 2-4 tool calls — producing secret-free, conventional-commit history whose every body OPENS with a derived Estimate: line, split into logical commits when types/scopes mix.

Summary: (read-this-if-nothing-else digest — purpose + ALL main steps + gates)

• PURPOSE — turn a working tree into secret-free conventional-commit history in 2-4 tool calls, splitting logically when types/scopes mix, and pushing ONLY on an explicit request.
• STEP 1 — STAGE + SCAN (one compound command). Stage all, count lines/files, scan for secrets, classify file groups — read its output ONCE.
• GATE A (hard) — SECRETS > 0 → STOP and block. Show the matched lines; NEVER commit through it.
• STEP 2 — SPLIT DECISION. Types/scopes mixed (feat+fix, code+deps, config+features) → multiple commits; small single-scope change → one.
• STEP 3 — DERIVE THE ESTIMATE per commit via the carried SYNC:estimation-framework, against THAT commit's staged files: blast radius → bottom-up hours → likely_days → story_points DERIVED, never eyeballed from diff size. Discount generated/lockfile/designer/i18n churn FIRST. Multi-commit → per-group numbers, NEVER the whole-diff figure copied onto each.
• STEP 4 — GENERATE MESSAGE(S). Simple: author directly. Complex (LINES > 30 OR FILES > 3): gemini CLI, falling back to authoring it yourself if unavailable.
• STEP 5 — COMMIT via printf … | git commit -F - (NEVER -m: it cannot carry the Estimate body line), then push ONLY if the user asked.
• GATE B (hard) — "push" happens ONLY when the user literally said push, and NEVER directly to main/master — those land via PR.
• OUTPUT — terse results only (<1k chars), no narration of what you did.

Workflow:

1. Stage + Analyze — one compound command: stage all, capture metrics (lines/files/secrets), classify file groups
2. Split Decision — single vs. multiple commits from type/scope mixing
3. Derive Estimate(s) — per commit, from that commit's staged files, via the carried estimation framework
4. Generate Message(s) — simple: craft directly; complex: gemini CLI
5. Commit + Push — execute commit(s) with -F -; push ONLY when the user explicitly requested it

Key Rules:

• SECRETS > 0 → STOP immediately, show matched lines, block commit — why: a leaked credential cannot be unpushed
• Every commit body OPENS with Estimate: <story_points> SP | man_days_ai: <x>d | man_days_traditional: <y>d — DERIVED per the carried framework, NEVER omitted, NEVER folded into the subject — why: both authorized commit paths carry the same requirement, so the metric lands whichever one ran
• Commit with printf … | git commit -F -, NEVER -m — why: a single-line -m cannot carry a body, so the mandatory Estimate line would silently vanish
• NEVER include AI attribution in commit messages — write type(scope): description only. The Estimate line is NOT attribution: it is a size metric, carrying no authorship claim
• NEVER push unless user explicitly said "push" / "commit and push" — "commit" alone means commit, not push
• Protected branches (main/master) → land via PR; NEVER direct push — why: bypasses required review

[IMPORTANT] NEVER force push to main/master. NEVER commit secrets or .env files. NEVER skip pre-commit hooks. Evidence Gate: MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — every claim, finding, and recommendation requires file:line proof or traced evidence with confidence percentage (>80% to act, <80% must verify first). External Memory: For complex or lengthy work (research, analysis, scan, review), write intermediate findings and final results to a report file in plans/reports/ — prevents context loss and serves as deliverable.
