SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conventional Commits Output: Produces messages in the expected format for release notes, changelogs, and automated tooling.
  • Concise Subject Lines: Keeps the subject short, imperative, and within common length limits so commits stay readable in history.
  • Context-Aware Body Text: Adds a body only when the reason matters, such as breaking changes, security fixes, migrations, or reversions.
  • Use Case: Use it when you have a finished diff and want a commit title and optional body that clearly explain the why, not just the what.

Quick Start
