Commit Message Generator
This skill generates conventional commit messages from staged git changes.
Usage
When invoked, analyze the staged changes and generate an appropriate commit message following the conventional commits specification.
Process
- First, check if there are staged changes:
git diff --cached
If there are staged changes, analyze them and generate a commit message.
The commit message should follow the conventional commits format:
<type>(<scope>): <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
Commit Types
feat: A new featurefix: A bug fixdocs: Documentation only changesstyle: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting)refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a featureperf: A code change that improves performancetest: Adding missing tests or correcting existing testschore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and librariesci: Changes to CI configuration files and scriptsrevert: Reverts a previous commit
Guidelines
- Keep the subject line under 72 characters
- Use the imperative mood in the subject line ("add" not "added")
- Do not end the subject line with a period
- Separate subject from body with a blank line
- Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
- The scope is optional but helpful for larger projects
Output
Output ONLY the commit message - no explanations, no markdown formatting, no code blocks, no quotes around the message. The message should be ready to use directly with git commit -m.
