description	Impact-focused git commit messages. Use when the user wants to commit changes with a well-crafted message.

Prepare a git commit following these steps:

1. Run git status and git diff to see changes
2. Review recent commits (git log --oneline -5) to match the style
3. Draft a concise commit message:

• Start with type prefix: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:, chore:
• Focus on IMPACT and WHY, not implementation details
• The title should describe the user-visible outcome or bug fixed
• Use bullet points (dash prefix) only if there are multiple distinct changes
• Keep each line under 72 characters
• No emojis

4. Run the developer_git_commit_proposal tool to propose the commit to the user

• Do NOT run git add - the widget handles staging when the user confirms

Commit Message Guidelines:

• Lead with the problem solved or capability added, not the technique used
• BAD: "feat: add pre-edit tagging for non-agentic AI providers"
• GOOD: "fix: OpenAI/LMStudio diffs now persist across app restarts"
• BAD: "refactor: extract helper function for validation"
• GOOD: "fix: prevent crash when user input is empty"
• The body can explain HOW if it's non-obvious, but title = IMPACT

Issue Linking (for auto-close):

• If fixing a Linear issue, include Fixes NIM-XXX on its own line after the title
• For GitHub issues, use Fixes #XXX or Closes #XXX

Important:

• Do NOT add "Co-Authored-By" or any attribution lines
• Do NOT add marketing taglines or links
• Be direct and factual
• Keep it brief - avoid unnecessary details about what wasn't changed
