git-commit
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
Best use case
git-commit is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using git-commit should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Git Commit with Conventional Commits ## Overview Create standardized, semantic git commits using the Conventional Commits specification. Analyze the actual diff to determine appropriate type, scope, and message. ## Conventional Commit Format ``` <type>[optional scope]: <description> [optional body] [optional footer(s)] ``` ## Commit Types | Type | Purpose | | ---------- | ------------------------------ | | `feat` | New feature | | `fix` | Bug fix | | `docs` | Documentation only | | `style` | Formatting/style (no logic) | | `refactor` | Code refactor (no feature/fix) | | `perf` | Performance improvement | | `test` | Add/update tests | | `build` | Build system/dependencies | | `ci` | CI/config changes | | `chore` | Maintenance/misc | | `revert` | Revert commit | ## Breaking Changes ``` # Exclamation mark after type/scope feat!: remove deprecated endpoint # BREAKING CHANGE footer feat: allow config to extend other configs BREAKING CHANGE: `extends` key behavior changed ``` ## Workflow ### 1. Analyze Diff ```bash # If files are staged, use staged diff git diff --staged # If nothing staged, use working tree diff git diff # Also check status git status --porcelain ``` ### 2. Stage Files (if needed) If nothing is staged or you want to group changes differently: ```bash # Stage specific files git add path/to/file1 path/to/file2 # Stage by pattern git add *.test.* git add src/components/* # Interactive staging git add -p ``` **Never commit secrets** (.env, credentials.json, private keys). ### 3. Generate Commit Message Analyze the diff to determine: - **Type**: What kind of change is this? - **Scope**: What area/module is affected? - **Description**: One-line summary of what changed (present tense, imperative mood, <72 chars) ### 4. Execute Commit ```bash # Single line git commit -m "<type>[scope]: <description>" # Multi-line with body/footer git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF' <type>[scope]: <description> <optional body> <optional footer> EOF )" ``` ## Best Practices - One logical change per commit - Present tense: "add" not "added" - Imperative mood: "fix bug" not "fixes bug" - Reference issues: `Closes #123`, `Refs #456` - Keep description under 72 characters ## Git Safety Protocol - NEVER update git config - NEVER run destructive commands (--force, hard reset) without explicit request - NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify) unless user asks - NEVER force push to main/master - If commit fails due to hooks, fix and create NEW commit (don't amend)
