Write Conventional Commit

Inspect Git changes and return exactly one final commit message.

Workflow

  • Run git status --short.
  • If there are no staged or unstaged changes, reply exactly: No staged or unstaged changes found.
  • Run git diff --staged --no-ext-diff --stat.
  • Run git diff --staged --no-ext-diff.
  • If the staged diff is empty but the working tree is dirty, use git diff --no-ext-diff --stat and git diff --no-ext-diff as a fallback.
  • Infer the dominant intent from the diff and write one message only.
  • Return exactly one final commit message and nothing else.

Commit Types

Use exactly one type from this list:

  • feat: a new feature
  • fix: a bug fix
  • docs: documentation only changes
  • style: changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • refactor: a code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: a code change that improves performance
  • test: adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
  • build: changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
  • ci: changes to our CI configuration files and scripts
  • chore: other changes that don't modify src or test files

Conventional Commit rules

  • Choose the dominant intent. DO NOT combine types.
  • DO NOT end the subject with a period.
  • If the change is breaking, mark it with ! after the type or scope and include a BREAKING CHANGE: footer when additional migration detail is needed.
  • Keep the subject concise; aim for 50-72 characters.
  • Never include markdown fences, bullets, analysis, or commentary.
  • Prefer a longer commit body after the short description, providing additional contextual information about the code changes.
  • Prefer lower-case after the colon unless a proper noun or acronym requires capitalization.
  • Preserve useful trailer/footer information from the context when it is clearly present.
  • Use an optional scope only when it is obvious and genuinely helpful.
  • Write the subject in imperative mood.
