Generate Commit Message

Analyze staged changes and generate a single-line commit message.

Instructions

  1. Check for staged changes

    • Run 
      git diff --cached
      to see what's staged
    • If nothing is staged, check 
      git status
      and suggest what to stage

  2. Check project conventions

    • Run 
      git log --oneline -10
      to see recent commit style
    • Match the existing format (conventional commits, prefixes, etc.)

  3. Generate a single-line commit message

Best Practices

  • 50 characters or less - keep it concise
  • Imperative mood - "Add feature" not "Added feature" or "Adds feature"
  • Capitalize the first letter
  • No period at the end
  • What and why, not how

If the project uses Conventional Commits, use the format:

type(scope): description

Types: 

feat
, 
fix
, 
docs
, 
style
, 
refactor
, 
test
, 
chore

Output

Print the commit message in a code block:
