What this skill does

This skill generates conventional commit messages using AI analysis of staged Git changes. It automatically determines the commit type (feat, fix, docs, etc.), identifies breaking changes, and formats the message according to conventional commit standards. Use this when asked to create a commit message, write a Git commit, or when the user uses the `/commit-smart` or `/gc` command. It is especially useful after changes have been staged with `git add`.

How it works

  1. Generating Commit Message: Based on the analysis, it constructs a conventional commit message, including type, scope, and description.
  2. Presenting for Confirmation: The generated message is displayed to the user for review and approval.

When to use it

  • Create a commit message from staged changes.
  • Generate a conventional commit message.
  • Use the `/commit-smart` or `/gc` command.
  • Automate the commit message writing process.

Best practices

  • Review Carefully: Always review the generated commit message before committing to ensure accuracy and clarity.
  • Provide Context: If necessary, provide additional context in the request to guide the AI analysis (e.g., `/gc - emphasize that this fixes a security vulnerability`).
