name: commit-message-generator description: Generate appropriate commit messages based on Git diffs

Prerequisites

• This Skill retrieves Git diffs and suggests meaningful commit messages
• Message format should follow Conventional Commits
• Commit messages should have a one-line Conventional Commits header, an optional blank second line, and from the third line onward include a bulleted list summarizing the changes
• Commit messages should be in English
• Never perform Git commit or Git push

Steps

1. Run git status to check modified files
2. Retrieve diffs with git diff or git diff --cached
3. Analyze the diff content and determine if changes should be split into multiple commits
4. For each logical group of changes:
   • List the target files
   • Generate a message in English compliant with Conventional Commits
   • Suggest the command: git add <files> && git commit -m "<message>"
5. If changes are extensive and should be split, provide:
   • Rationale for the split
   • Multiple commit suggestions with their respective target files and messages

Commit Splitting Guidelines

• Split commits when changes span multiple logical concerns (e.g., feature + refactoring)
• Group related files that serve the same purpose
• Keep each commit focused on a single, atomic change

Notes

• This Skill must never execute git commit or git push
• Only suggest commands; execution is entirely at user's discretion
• Users must explicitly perform commits and pushes themselves
