# Devops Automation Pack Generate conventional commit messages by analyzing staged Git changes, selecting the correct type prefix (feat/fix/refactor/etc.), and producing concise, standards-compliant messages. ## Overview Create well-formatted, informative commit messages that follow the conventional commits standard, improving collaboration and automation in your Git workflow. It saves you time and ensures consistency across your project. ## How It Works 1. **Analyze Changes**: The skill analyzes the staged changes in your Git repository. 2. **Generate Suggestion**: It uses AI to generate a commit message based on the analyzed changes, adhering to the conventional commits format (e.g., `feat: add new feature`, `fix: correct bug`). 3. **Present to User**: The generated commit message is presented to you for review and acceptance. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Create a commit message after making code changes. - Ensure your commit messages follow the conventional commits standard. - Save time writing commit messages manually. ## Examples ### Example 1: Adding a New Feature User request: "Generate a commit message for these changes." The skill will: 1. Analyze the staged changes related to a new feature. 2. Generate a commit message like `feat: Implement user authentication`. ### Example 2: Fixing a Bug User request: "Create a commit for the bug fix." The skill will: 1. Analyze the staged changes related to a bug fix. 2. Generate a commit message like `fix: Resolve issue with incorrect password reset`. ## Best Practices - **Stage Changes**: Ensure all relevant changes are staged before using the skill. - **Review Carefully**: Always review the generated commit message before accepting it. - **Customize if Needed**: Feel free to customize the generated message to provide more context. ## Integration This skill integrates with your Git workflow, providing a convenient way to generate commit messages directly within Claude Code. It complements other Git-related skills in the DevOps Automation Pack, such as `/branch-create` and `/pr-create`. ## Prerequisites - Appropriate file access permissions - Required dependencies installed ## Instructions 1. Invoke this skill when the trigger conditions are met 2. Provide necessary context and parameters 3. Review the generated output 4. Apply modifications as needed ## Output The skill produces structured output relevant to the task. ## Error Handling - Invalid input: Prompts for correction - Missing dependencies: Lists required components - Permission errors: Suggests remediation steps ## Resources - Project documentation - Related skills and commands
