Git Commit Helper Skill
Generate conventional commit messages from your git diff.
When I Activate
- ✅ `git commit` without message - ✅ User asks "what should my commit message be?" - ✅ Staged changes exist - ✅ User mentions commit or conventional commits - ✅ Before creating commits
What I Generate
### Conventional Commit Format ``` <type>(<scope>): <subject> <body> <footer> ``` **Types:** - `feat`: New feature - `fix`: Bug fix - `docs`: Documentation changes - `style`: Code style (formatting, no logic change) - `refactor`: Code refactoring - `perf`: Performance improvements - `test`: Test additions or fixes - `build`: Build system changes - `ci`: CI/CD changes - `chore`: Maintenance tasks
Examples
### Feature Addition ```bash
You staged:
git add auth.service.ts login.component.tsx
I analyze diff and suggest:
feat(auth): add JWT-based user authentication - Implement login/logout functionality - Add token management service - Include auth guards for protected routes - Add unit tests for auth service Closes #42 ``` ### Bug Fix ```bash
You staged:
git add UserList.tsx
I suggest:
fix(components): resolve memory leak in UserList Fixed subscription not being cleaned up in useEffect, causing memory leak when component unmounts. Closes #156 ``` ### Breaking Change ```bash
You staged:
git add api/users.ts
I suggest:
feat(api): update user API response format
Changed response structure to include metadata
for better pagination and filtering support.
BREAKING CHANGE: User API now returns { data, metadata }
instead of direct array. Update client code accordingly.
```
### Documentation Update
```bashYou staged:
git add README.md docs/api.md
I suggest:
docs: update API documentation with authentication examples - Add authentication flow diagrams - Include cURL examples for protected endpoints - Document error responses ```
Analysis Process
### Step 1: Check Staged Changes
```bash
git diff --staged --name-only
git diff --staged
```
### Step 2: Categorize Changes
- New files → feat
- Modified files → fix, refactor, or feat
- Deleted files → chore or refactor
- Test files → test
- Documentation → docs
### Step 3: Analyze Content
- What was changed?
- Why was it changed?
- What's the impact?
- Are there breaking changes?
### Step 4: Generate Message
**Subject line:**
- Max 50 characters
- Imperative mood ("add" not "added")
- No period at end
- Lowercase after type
**Body:**
- Explain WHAT and WHY, not HOW
- Wrap at 72 characters
- Bullet points for multiple changes
**Footer:**
- Breaking changes: `BREAKING CHANGE: description`
- Issue references: `Closes #123`, `Fixes #456`Message Components
### Type Selection ```yaml feat: New functionality - New components, features, capabilities fix: Bug fixes - Resolving issues, fixing bugs refactor: Code improvements - No functional changes, better code structure perf: Performance - Speed improvements, optimization docs: Documentation - README, comments, guides test: Testing - Adding or fixing tests style: Formatting - Code style, linting, formatting chore: Maintenance - Dependencies, build config, tooling ``` ### Scope Selection Common scopes: - Component name: `feat(UserCard): ...` - Module: `fix(auth): ...` - Package: `chore(api): ...` - Area: `docs(readme): ...` ### Subject Guidelines ✅ Good: - `add user authentication` - `fix memory leak in component` - `update API documentation` ❌ Bad: - `added user authentication` (past tense) - `fixes bug` (too vague) - `Update API docs.` (period at end)
Advanced Examples
### Multiple Changes ```bash
Multiple files in auth feature
feat(auth): implement complete authentication system - Add JWT token generation and validation - Implement password hashing with bcrypt - Create login/logout API endpoints - Add auth middleware for protected routes - Include refresh token functionality Closes #42, #43, #44 ``` ### Refactoring ```bash
Code restructuring
refactor(api): extract database logic into repository pattern Moved database queries from controllers to repository classes for better separation of concerns and testability. No functional changes or API modifications. ``` ### Performance Improvement ```bash
Optimization
perf(queries): optimize user data fetching - Implement query batching to eliminate N+1 queries - Add database indices on frequently queried columns - Cache user profile data with 5-minute TTL Performance improvement: 80ms → 12ms average response time ```
Git Integration
### Pre-commit Hook I work great with pre-commit hooks: ```bash #!/bin/sh
.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
If no commit message provided, trigger skill
if [ -z "$2" ]; then # Skill suggests message based on staged changes echo "# Suggested commit message (edit as needed)" > "$1" fi ``` ### Amending Commits ```bash
Poor initial message
git commit -m "fix stuff"
I suggest improved message based on changes
git commit --amend ```
Sandboxing Compatibility
**Works without sandboxing:** ✅ Yes
**Works with sandboxing:** ✅ Yes
**May need network access for:**
- Fetching issue details from GitHub API
- Checking if issue numbers are valid
**Sandbox config (optional):**
```json
{
"network": {
"allowedDomains": [
"api.github.com"
]
}
}
```Customization
### Custom Commit Types Edit SKILL.md to add company-specific types: ```yaml deploy: Deployment migrate: Database migrations hotfix: Production hotfixes ``` ### Custom Scopes Train the skill to recognize your project structure: ```yaml Common scopes: auth, api, ui, database, admin, mobile ``` ### Message Templates Customize message format for your team: ```bash
Standard format
feat(scope): subject
Your custom format
[JIRA-123] feat(scope): subject ```
Tips for Best Messages
1. **Be specific**: "fix login button" not "fix bug" 2. **Use imperative mood**: "add" not "added" or "adds" 3. **Include context**: Why this change was needed 4. **Reference issues**: Always include issue numbers 5. **Breaking changes**: Always flag in footer
Common Patterns
### Frontend Changes ``` feat(ui): add responsive navigation menu fix(components): resolve prop validation warning style(css): update button hover effects ``` ### Backend Changes ``` feat(api): add user pagination endpoint fix(database): resolve connection pool exhaustion perf(queries): add database indices for user lookups ``` ### Infrastructure Changes ``` ci: add automated deployment pipeline build: update dependencies to latest versions chore(docker): optimize container image size ```

Integration
### With code-reviewer ```bash
5. I generate commit message
git commit # Uses my suggested message ``` ### With /review Command ```bash
1. Make changes
/review --scope staged # Review before commit
4. I generate commit message
git commit ```
