git-commit-helper

Conventional commits format structures messages as type(scope): description with optional body and footer, making commits easier to review and automate. This Skill analyzes your staged Git diffs to generate compliant messages automatically, saving time and ensuring consistency across your project.

Yes. This Skill reads git diff --staged output and generates descriptive commit messages formatted in conventional commits style. You review the suggestion, copy it, and apply it when committing—automating the message-writing workflow without manual typing.

Stage all related files together, then use this Skill to analyze the combined diff and generate a single message that describes the entire changeset. This produces atomic commits where one message accurately reflects all file modifications in scope.

Run git diff --staged to see exactly what you're about to commit. This Skill uses that same output to propose a descriptive message, so you can review both the changes and the message summary in one workflow.

Structured messages (conventional commits) enable automated tooling for changelog generation, version bumping, and commit history parsing. They make code review faster because scope and change type are immediately visible, and they follow a standard teams can enforce consistently.

No external dependencies required. You need only a Git repository with staged changes. This Skill works with git diff --staged output directly, integrating into your existing Git workflow without additional configuration.
