/publish Command

Publish changes to the repository by updating the journal, creating a rich commit message, and pushing.

Step 1: Check repository status Use the Bash tool to run these commands in parallel:

git status --short

git diff --stat

git log -1 --oneline

Step 2: Analyze changes and update journal

• Review the git status and diff output
• Identify what substantive work was done (documents, code, features, fixes)
• Update .claude/JOURNAL.md with a new entry following the format:

  <number>. **Task - <short 3-5 word depiction>**: task description<br>
      **Result**: summary of the work done
  

• Only log substantive work (not routine maintenance or trivial changes)

Step 3: Draft commit message Analyze all changes and create a concise commit message that:

• Uses conventional commit format: feat: / fix: / docs: / refactor: / chore:
• Summarizes the nature of changes (new feature, bug fix, enhancement, etc.)
• Focuses on the "why" rather than the "what"
• Keeps it 1-2 sentences maximum
• DO NOT include "Generated with Claude Code" or "Co-Authored-By: Claude"

Step 4: Commit and push Use the Bash tool to run:

git add . && \
git commit -m "your commit message here" && \
git push

After completion, inform the user:

• What was added to the journal
• The commit message used
• Confirmation that changes were pushed to the remote repository

If there are no changes to commit, inform the user that the repository is clean.
