generate-commit

To generate a commit message from a git diff, the Skill analyzes your staged changes and recent commit history to output a descriptive message. It detects existing conventions to ensure the generated text matches your repository's formatting style.

You can automatically format staged git changes into conventional commits by running the Skill against your staging area. It detects commit conventions from repository config files and recent history to produce compliant messages with appropriate prefixes like feat or fix.

Maintaining consistent git commit messages across a team requires analyzing existing repository conventions. The Skill inspects recent commits and config files to infer the established style, then generates compliant messages to ensure uniform project history and easier code review.

The commit message generator works without external dependencies. It operates directly on your git staging area, analyzing staged diffs and recent project history to craft accurate messages without requiring additional tools or libraries.

Detecting commit conventions from recent commits improves code review by ensuring all new messages follow the established repository pattern. Consistent formatting with proper prefixes and scopes makes project history clearer and helps reviewers understand changes faster.

You should not use automated commit message generation when your staged diff is empty or lacks meaningful context. The Skill relies on analyzing actual code changes to produce accurate messages, so it cannot create appropriate output without properly staged files.
