write-conventional-commit

To generate a conventional commit message from Git changes, this Skill analyzes your staged diff and drafts a compliant message. It automatically selects the appropriate commit type, defines an optional scope, and composes the header, body, and footer.

The Conventional Commits specification enforces a structured format for Git commits using `type(scope)!: description`. This Skill automates applying this format, ensuring your project history maintains consistent structure, clarity, and standardized versioning.

To add a breaking change footer to a Git commit, this Skill detects non-backward-compatible changes during message generation. It automatically appends a `BREAKING CHANGE:` trailer to the commit message footer when required by your diff.

You can convert a free-form Git commit message into a conventional commit using this Skill. It processes your existing text and reconstructs it into the compliant `type(scope)!: description` format with optional bodies and footers.

You do not need any external dependencies to create compliant conventional commits with this Skill. It operates independently with internal scripts and references to generate and apply Git commit messages directly.

The best way to apply a commit type and scope during code versioning is using this Skill to draft your message. It handles type selection and optional scope definition based on your code changes to ensure Conventional Commits compliance.
