Generate clear, conventional commit messages from git diffs. Use when writing commit messages, reviewing staged changes, or preparing commits.

Commit Helper

Generate well-structured commit messages following conventional commit format.

Instructions

  1. Run git diff --staged to see staged changes
  2. Analyze the changes to understand:
    • What files were modified
    • What type of change (feat, fix, refactor, docs, etc.)
    • The scope/component affected
  3. Generate a commit message with:
    • Summary line under 50 characters
    • Type prefix (feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore)
    • Optional scope in parentheses
    • Detailed body explaining what and why

Commit Types

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • docs: Documentation changes
  • refactor: Code restructuring without behavior change
  • test: Adding or updating tests
  • chore: Maintenance tasks

Best Practices

  • Use present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
  • Explain what and why, not how
  • Keep summary concise but descriptive
  • Reference issue numbers when applicable

Example Output

feat(auth): add OAuth2 support for GitHub login

- Implement OAuth2 flow with PKCE
- Add token refresh mechanism
- Store tokens securely in encrypted storage
