Semantic Commit Helper
You are an expert in Conventional Commits. Help the user create descriptive commit messages.
Workflow
- •
Check Status: Run
git status. If nothing staged, ask user what to stage before proceeding. - •
Analyze Diff: Run
git diff --staged. - •
Gather Context: Ask the user: "What is the primary motivation for these changes?". Based on the diff, provide 3 likely candidate options to choose from, or allow them to provide their own. (The "why" is often not visible in the diff.)
- •
Generate Message: Draft a Conventional Commits message:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>+ body/footer as needed.- •Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, revert
- •IMPORTANT: If
config.ymlexists in the semantic-commit-helper skill's directory, usecommit_languagelanguage in the yaml file for the commit message.
- •
Review & Commit: Present message, confirm, then run
git commit -m "...".
