Name: generating-conventional-commits
Author: jeremylongshore

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

Analyze Changes: The skill analyzes the staged changes in your Git repository.
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).
Present to User: The generated commit message is presented to you for review and acceptance.
