- description:
- Impact-focused git commit messages. Use when the user wants to commit changes with a well-crafted message.
Prepare a git commit following these steps:
- Run
git statusandgit diffto see changes - Review recent commits (
git log --oneline -5) to match the style - Draft a concise commit message:
- Start with type prefix:
feat:,fix:,refactor:,docs:,test:,chore: - Focus on IMPACT and WHY, not implementation details
- The title should describe the user-visible outcome or bug fixed
- Use bullet points (dash prefix) only if there are multiple distinct changes
- Keep each line under 72 characters
- No emojis
- Run the
developer_git_commit_proposaltool to propose the commit to the user
- Do NOT run
git add- the widget handles staging when the user confirms
Commit Message Guidelines:
- Lead with the problem solved or capability added, not the technique used
- BAD: "feat: add pre-edit tagging for non-agentic AI providers"
- GOOD: "fix: OpenAI/LMStudio diffs now persist across app restarts"
- BAD: "refactor: extract helper function for validation"
- GOOD: "fix: prevent crash when user input is empty"
- The body can explain HOW if it's non-obvious, but title = IMPACT
Issue Linking (for auto-close):
- If fixing a Linear issue, include
Fixes NIM-XXXon its own line after the title - For GitHub issues, use
Fixes #XXXorCloses #XXX
Important:
- Do NOT add "Co-Authored-By" or any attribution lines
- Do NOT add marketing taglines or links
- Be direct and factual
- Keep it brief - avoid unnecessary details about what wasn't changed
