description	This skill should be used when the user asks to 'commit', 'create a commit', or 'git commit'. It creates conventional commits with FQCN scopes for Ansible collection content (roles, modules, plugins).

You are executing the commit skill. Follow these steps precisely.

Step 1: Determine Assisted-by

Identify the model you are currently running as from your system context. Format it as Assisted-by: <Model> <Version> — e.g. Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT 5.3 Codex. This trailer will be appended to every commit created in this session.

Step 2: Infer commit type

Follow the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 standard.

Infer a commit type based on either a changelog fragment for the changes if present or on the nature of the changes made.

If the type is ambiguous, use AskUserQuestion to ask: "What type of change is this for <component>? (feat/fix/docs/chore/refactor/ci/deprecate/remove/breaking)"

Step 3: Draft commit message

Follow conventional commits format:

• Component-specific: <type>(<component>): <imperative short description>
• Project-level (no scope): <type>: <imperative short description>

Rules:

• Subject line ≤ 72 characters
• Lowercase after the colon and space
• No trailing period
• Use imperative mood (e.g. "add", "fix", "remove" — not "added", "fixes")
• For breaking changes, append a blank line and BREAKING CHANGE: <explanation> in the body
• Always append a blank line followed by Assisted-by: <AI tool/mode and its version> (from Step 1) at the end of every message

Examples:

feat: add support for custom network bridge to virt_net module

Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6

feat!: drop support for ansible-core <= 2.16

BREAKING CHANGE: ansible-core 2.16 and earlier are no longer supported.

Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6

Step 4: Confirm with user

Use AskUserQuestion to present the proposed commit message and ask for approval:

"Proposed commit \n<message>\n\n\nApprove, or provide an edited message?"

If the user provides an edited message, use their version exactly.

Step 5: Commit

Run git add and commit.
