@savvy-web/commitlint

A commitlint config factory that reads your repo and builds the right rules — DCO requirements, workspace scopes, and versioning strategy included. No per-project configuration needed.

Features

• Auto-detection - Reads DCO files, workspace packages and versioning strategy from the repo; no manual wiring required
• Zero config - Ships with working defaults
• Type-safe - Full TypeScript support with Zod schema validation
• Extended types - Includes ai, release and tdd commit types beyond conventional commits
• Interactive prompts - Built-in commitizen adapter with emoji support
• CLI tooling - Set up and validate configurations with savvy-commit

Install

npm install -D @savvy-web/commitlint @commitlint/cli @commitlint/config-conventional husky

Quick start

// commitlint.config.ts
import { CommitlintConfig } from "@savvy-web/commitlint";

export default CommitlintConfig.silk();

Or use the static configuration without auto-detection:

// commitlint.config.ts
export { default } from "@savvy-web/commitlint/static";

Set up your project with the CLI:

npx savvy-commit init

Claude Code plugin

This package ships a companion Claude Code plugin that keeps AI agents on the right side of your commit conventions:

# Add the Savvy Web plugin marketplace (one-time setup)
/plugin marketplace add savvy-web/systems

# Install the commitlint plugin for this project
/plugin install commitlint@savvy-web-systems --scope project

Once installed, the plugin:

• Injects context at session start with your project's commit conventions, current branch and inferred ticket id, a GPG/SSH signing diagnostic, and a cached list of open issues from gh.
• Auto-allows safe Bash and curated MCP operations so the agent does not prompt for read-only commands, common workflow tools, or vetted GitHub / GitKraken operations. Destructive commands (rm, curl, git push --force, package installers, gh repo delete, gh secret, etc.) are never auto-allowed.
• Validates commit messages before they run by intercepting git commit and gh pr create|edit, denying messages that contain markdown headers or code fences, or that conflict with your signing config (--no-gpg-sign while commit.gpgsign=true).
• Advises on commit quality for plan/design path leakage, soft-wrapped bullets, overly long bodies, and missing Closes/Fixes/Resolves trailers when the branch encodes a ticket id.
• Replays commitlint after each commit and surfaces signing-status or Closes-trailer issues so the agent can offer an --amend fix.
• Reminds the agent about commit quality when a user prompt mentions committing, shipping, opening a PR, amending, or squashing.
