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

code
<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

bash
# You 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"

# Amend with better message
# 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

code
feat(ui): add responsive navigation menu
fix(components): resolve prop validation warning
style(css): update button hover effects

Backend Changes

code
feat(api): add user pagination endpoint
fix(database): resolve connection pool exhaustion
perf(queries): add database indices for user lookups

Infrastructure Changes

code
ci: add automated deployment pipeline
build: update dependencies to latest versions
chore(docker): optimize container image size
