- Generate clear, conventional commit messages from git diffs. Use when writing commit messages, reviewing staged changes, or preparing releases.
Commit Message Skill
Generate consistent, informative commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification.
When to Use This Skill
- User asks to "commit", "write a commit message", or "prepare commit"
- User has staged changes and mentions commits
- Before any
git commitcommand
Process
- Analyze changes: Run
git diff --stagedto see what's being committed - Identify the type: Determine the primary change category
- Find the scope: Identify the main area affected
- Write the message: Follow the format below
Commit Message Format
<type>(<scope>): <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
Types
| Type | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| feat | New feature | feat(auth): add OAuth2 login |
| fix | Bug fix | fix(api): handle null response |
| docs | Documentation only | docs(readme): add setup instructions |
| style | Formatting, no code change | style: fix indentation |
| refactor | Code change, no new feature/fix | refactor(db): extract query builder |
| perf | Performance improvement | perf(search): add result caching |
| test | Adding/fixing tests | test(auth): add login unit tests |
| build | Build system changes | build: update webpack config |
| ci | CI configuration | ci: add GitHub Actions workflow |
| chore | Maintenance tasks | chore(deps): update dependencies |
| revert | Revert previous commit | revert: feat(auth): add OAuth2 |
Scope
The scope should be a noun describing the section of the codebase:
auth,api,db,ui,config- Feature names:
search,checkout,dashboard - Or omit if change is broad
Subject Line Rules
- Use imperative mood: "add" not "added" or "adds"
- Don't capitalize first letter after colon
- No period at the end
- Max 72 characters total
Body (when needed)
- Separate from subject with blank line
- Explain what and why, not how
- Wrap at 72 characters
- Use bullet points for multiple changes
Footer (when needed)
BREAKING CHANGE:for breaking changesFixes #123to close issuesRefs #456to reference without closing
Examples
Simple feature
feat(search): add fuzzy matching support
Implement Levenshtein distance algorithm for typo tolerance
in search queries. Configurable via FUZZY_THRESHOLD env var.
Bug fix with issue reference
fix(cart): prevent duplicate items on rapid clicks
Add debounce to add-to-cart button and check for existing
items before insertion.
Fixes #234
Breaking change
feat(api)!: change response format to JSON:API
BREAKING CHANGE: API responses now follow JSON:API spec.
All clients need to update their parsers.
- Wrap data in `data` object
- Move metadata to `meta` object
- Add `links` for pagination
Multiple related changes
refactor(auth): consolidate authentication logic
- Extract JWT handling to dedicated service
- Move session management from controller to middleware
- Add refresh token rotation
This prepares for the upcoming OAuth2 integration.
Output
When generating a commit message:
- Show the staged changes summary
- Propose the commit message
- Explain the type/scope choice if non-obvious
- Ask if the user wants to proceed or modify

Use when work should span one or more detached tasks but still behave like one job with a single owner context. TaskFlow is the durable flow substrate under authoring layers like Lobster, ACPX, plugins, or plain code. Keep conditional logic in the caller; use TaskFlow for flow identity, child-task linkage, waiting state, revision-checked mutations, and user-facing emergence.
