Overview

This skill empowers Claude to create well-formatted, informative commit messages automatically. By analyzing staged changes, it generates messages that adhere to conventional commit standards, saving developers time and ensuring consistency.

How It Works

Analyzing Staged Changes: The skill examines the changes currently staged in the Git repository.
Generating Commit Message: Based on the analysis, it constructs a conventional commit message, including type, scope, and description.
Presenting for Confirmation: The generated message is displayed to the user for review and approval.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

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.

Examples

Example 1: Adding a New Feature

User request: "Generate a commit message for adding user authentication"

The skill will:

Analyze the staged changes related to user authentication.

Generate a commit message like:

feat(auth): Implement user authentication module

Present the message to the user for confirmation.

Example 2: Fixing a Bug

User request: "/gc fix for login issue"

The skill will:

Analyze the staged changes related to the login issue.

Generate a commit message like:

fix(login): Resolve issue with incorrect password validation

Present the message to the user for confirmation.

Best Practices

Stage Related Changes: Ensure that only related changes are staged before generating the commit message.
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
```
).

Integration

This skill integrates directly with the Git repository through Claude Code. It complements other Git-related skills by providing a streamlined way to create informative and standardized commit messages.
