Mathieu Benoit b4b95042ef [UPD] claude: align the commit command with the AI policy
The template wrote « Generated by Claude Code », the form AI_POLICY.md
replaces with the Assisted-by trailer. Three defects rode along: the model
came from ~/.claude/settings.json, which has no model key here, so it
declared the sonnet default rather than the truth; --author alone failed on
the committer, this checkout having no git identity; and [UPD] was missing
from the tag table while being the most used tag, 134 of the last 400.

The model now comes from the session transcript, the only source that
follows a /model switch — checked, it prints Claude Opus 5. The timezone is
left to the system so contributors keep their own, and the menu substitutes
name and email separately, the placeholders no longer being adjacent.

Le gabarit écrivait « Generated by Claude Code », la forme que AI_POLICY.md
remplace par le trailer Assisted-by. Trois défauts l'accompagnaient : le
modèle venait de ~/.claude/settings.json, sans clé model ici, si bien qu'il
déclarait le défaut sonnet plutôt que la vérité ; --author seul échouait sur
le committer, ce checkout n'ayant aucune identité git ; et [UPD] manquait au
tableau des tags alors qu'il est le plus utilisé, 134 des 400 derniers.

Le modèle vient désormais de la transcription de session, seule source qui
suive un changement par /model — vérifié, elle rend Claude Opus 5. Le fuseau
est laissé au système, pour que chaque contributeur garde le sien, et le
menu substitue nom et courriel séparément, les jetons n'étant plus accolés.

Context

  • Git status: !git status
  • Full diff: !git diff HEAD
  • Current branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Last 5 commits (for style reference): !git log --oneline -5

Task

Write a commit that satisfies AI_POLICY.md — the OCA generative AI policy ERPLibre adopts — and the conventions below.

Resolve the model — {MODEL}

Run this first. It reads the model from the CURRENT session transcript, which is the only source that stays right when the model is switched mid-session with /model or a CLI flag:

python3 -c "
import glob, json, os, sys
sid = os.environ.get('CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID', '')
hits = glob.glob(os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/projects/*/%s.jsonl' % sid)) if sid else []
mid = ''
for path in hits[:1]:
    with open(path) as fh:
        for line in fh:
            try:
                m = json.loads(line).get('message', {}).get('model', '')
            except Exception:
                continue
            if m and not m.startswith('<'):
                mid = m
if not mid:
    sys.exit('UNKNOWN')
mid = mid.removeprefix('claude-')
parts = [p for p in mid.split('-') if not (len(p) == 8 and p.isdigit())]
print('Claude %s %s' % (parts[0].capitalize(), '.'.join(parts[1:])))
"

It prints the trailer value: Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5. There is deliberately no fallback name — on UNKNOWN, use the model you know you are running as, and never a value read from a settings file: ~/.claude/settings.json usually has no model key at all, so it would quietly declare the default instead of the truth.

Tags

Tag Usage
[UPD] Update existing code, data or configuration
[FIX] Bug fix
[ADD] New module, file or capability
[IMP] Improvement to something that already works
[REF] Refactoring, no observable behaviour change
[REM] Remove code or module
[MOV] Move or rename
[I18N] Translations

The first five cover every one of the last 400 commits. Reach for [REM], [MOV] or [I18N] only when one of them genuinely fits better.

Format

[TAG] scope: short description in imperative mood

Explain WHY the change was made — the diff already shows what. Name the
symptom that led to it, and what was measured rather than assumed.
Wrap at 80 characters.

--- FR ---

The same body, translated.

Assisted-by: {MODEL}

Keep it short

The body answers one question: why was this necessary. Stop once it is answered — the reader owes you nothing beyond that.

Ten lines per language. Fifteen is already long. Past that, the reasoning belongs in a document or a code comment, and the commit points at it. The budget is per language: bilingual doubles everything, so it buys terseness, it does not excuse length.

Cut, in this order:

  • Anything the diff already says. adds function X is visible; X because the DHCP lease can be stale is not.
  • Headings and bullet lists. If the change really needs sections, it needs several commits.
  • Every clause that would not change what a reader does: no this commit, no I decided to, no summary of the summary, no restating the subject.

Keep, always: the symptom that led to the change, the figure you measured rather than assumed, and one line naming what you verified and how. A single Checked: 4 jobs, 1.63 s at parallelism 1 vs 0.58 s at 4 is worth three paragraphs of prose.

Bilingual body

Every AI-assisted commit carries its body twice. Write it first in whichever language you were thinking in, then the marker, then the translation.

The marker names the language of what FOLLOWS it: --- FR --- after an English body, --- EN --- after a French one. One marker per commit, never both.

Translate, do not re-summarise: a reader of either language must get the same reasoning, the same measured figures and the same caveats.

The Assisted-by trailer

AI_POLICY.md makes this binary — there was AI involvement or there was not, with no threshold to judge. Anything from a single suggestion to fully autonomous coding means the trailer, and it says nothing about the quality of the work.

  • One Assisted-by: line per model. A session that switched models declares each of them, one line each.
  • NEVER name an AI in Co-authored-by:: authorship of a work by a machine is legally undefined. That field is for other HUMANS who worked on the change. You are already the author, so never co-author yourself.
  • No blank line between trailers.

Rules

  • Subject: imperative mood, 72 characters maximum, aim for 50.
  • scope is the Odoo technical module (sale_order, account, stock) or the area of the repository (script todo, qemu ssh, migration).
  • The commit stands on its own: state what was verified, and how. If a claim was not checked, say so rather than implying it was.
  • If you cannot explain and defend every line, do not commit it.

Size and pace

A patch under 30 lines in a single file is the reference point. Past ~500 lines the policy asks for prior agreement with a maintainer — say so instead of committing quietly. When several unrelated modules are touched, propose splitting into separate commits before writing anything.

Execute

The timezone comes from the system, as it should: nothing is forced here, so each contributor's commits carry their own zone. If yours land at +0000, the machine itself is on UTC — common on a server or a VM — and the fix belongs there, sudo timedatectl set-timezone <Area/City>, because it affects every commit and not just this one.

The identity is passed explicitly with -c, which sets the author AND the committer. --author alone sets only the author, and a checkout with no configured user.email then fails on the committer.

Use a heredoc rather than -m: a body with quotes, backticks or accented characters survives it unharmed.

git add -A
git -c user.name="Your Name" -c user.email="your@email.com" commit -F - <<'MSG'
