## 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
