Git Commit Message Generation

When asked to generate a git commit message, satisfy the following rules:

  1. Gather Context (read-only — do not stage anything):

    • Run git status to identify all modified, deleted, staged, and untracked files.
    • Run git diff to see all unstaged changes.
    • Run git diff --cached to see all already-staged changes.
    • Untracked files: Read the full content of new files.
    • Deleted files: Note the removal.
    • Combine all of the above to form a complete picture of what will be committed.
  2. Draft Message:

    • Create a conventional commit message based on the actual changes found.
    • Header: Start with a Conventional Commit header (e.g., feat:, fix:, refactor:) that captures the key change.
    • Body: Leave one empty line after the header, then a list of details.
    • Format: Use a simple bulleted list (-) for the details.
    • Style: Use the imperative mood (e.g., "Create", "Update", "Fix", "Refactor").
    • Quotes: NEVER use double quotes (") in the commit message content. Use single quotes (') instead if you need to quote something.
  3. Execute:

    • Construct the final command: git add . && git commit -m "YOUR_MESSAGE_HERE".
    • Output: Present the final command in a markdown code block (bash) so the user can copy/paste if they reject the tool.
    • Then, immediately execute the command.

Usage Example

Input: "Commit these changes."

Context: User has modified several files related to the layout.

Output:

git add . && git commit -m "refactor(learn): unify header layout and simplify access logic

- Create learn/layout.tsx shared layout file for learn routes
- Create LearnPagesHeader.tsx to consolidate title/breadcrumb and UserProfileDropDown.tsx across /learn and /learn/:slug routes
- Update code in UnpaidUserBanner.tsx and NoAccessToThisNote.tsx components
- Consolidate 'Paid User' and 'Valid Access Config' checks into unified logic blocks across pages
- Add JSDoc documentation to BreadcrumbLink.tsx, UserProfileDropdown.tsx and learn/layout.tsx"

Action: Agent then executes the command above.
