commit-message-from-diff

To generate a commit message from a git diff, this Skill analyzes your staged or unstaged changes and produces 1-3 Conventional Commits-style messages. It identifies the appropriate commit type, scope, and summary to streamline your version control process.

Conventional commits are a standardized message format specifying type, scope, and summary for version control changes. Using them improves project maintainability, ensures consistency across code reviews, and enables automated changelog generation.

You can add a specific scope or audience to conventional commit messages using optional parameters. This allows the generated output to be tailored, providing targeted summaries that fit your project's context and audience requirements.
