# Commit Classification System Design Document

**Document Version:** 1.0  
**Date:** January 2025  
**Author:** Technical Product Owner  
**Target Implementation:** GitFlow Analytics v1.1

## 1. Executive Summary

### 1.1 Purpose
Design and implement a high-accuracy commit classification system combining GitHub Linguist file analysis with Random Forest machine learning to categorize commits into Engineering, Operations, and Documentation activities with **76.7% target accuracy**.

### 1.2 Design Goals
- **Algorithmic-First Approach**: Minimize LLM dependency, focus on proven mathematical models
- **Production Performance**: Process 10,000+ commits in under 30 seconds
- **Extensible Architecture**: Easy addition of new classification categories
- **Training Data Generation**: Bootstrap with rule-based classification, improve with user feedback

### 1.3 Success Criteria
- Achieve 75%+ accuracy on manually validated test set
- Process commits at 300+ commits/second
- Memory usage under 1GB for 100k commit analysis
- Integration with existing GitFlow Analytics codebase
