SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reads a git diff (or a plain description of changes) and produces a well-formed commit message that adheres to the Conventional Commits specification. It automatically selects the appropriate type (feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test, style, perf, ci), suggests a suitable scope, crafts a concise subject line, and appends a descriptive body when the change warrants it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read a git diff or change description and output a conventional commit message.
  • Automatically determine type, scope, and subject; optionally include a body for larger changes.
  • Support multiple environments or agent surfaces: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other integrations.
  • Use case: preserve consistent, readable commit history across a codebase.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to generate a conventional commit message from the current git diff.
