 - If the user asks for a git commit description, draft the proposed commit message first.
 - After the proposed commit message, show the exact `git commit` command that would be used.
 - After the `git commit` command, show the exact `git push -u origin main` command that would be used.
+- If the user asks for a git commit, do not commit immediately.
+- First show both:
+  - the proposed commit description/message
+  - the exact `git commit` command planned for execution
 - Do not run `git commit` immediately after drafting the message.
 - Do not run `git push` immediately after drafting the message.
 - Wait for explicit user approval before creating the commit or running the push command.
+- Do not treat a request such as "give me the git commit" or "make the commit" as approval by itself.
+- Only execute `git commit` after the user explicitly approves the displayed commit command.
+- If the user changes the requested commit message or scope after commands are shown, rebuild the proposal and wait for fresh approval.
 
 ## Push Requests
 - When the user asks to push, use `git push -u origin main` by default unless the user explicitly asks for a different remote or branch.
