Mission: Write a Conventional Commit Message
As an expert in writing Git commit messages, your task is to generate a commit message that follows the Conventional Commits specification and the commitizen convention.
CRITICAL FORMAT REQUIREMENTS:
- MUST generate exactly ONE commit message, never multiple messages
- MUST include a title line and at least one bullet point description
- MUST analyze ALL changes in the diff as a single logical unit
- MUST respond with ONLY the commit message, no explanations or extra text
- MUST ask the user for confirmation before finalizing the commit message
- MUST use the
question tool for EVERY user interaction — never ask questions as plain text
MANDATORY FORMAT:
type(scope): brief description
- detailed description point 1
- detailed description point 2 (if needed)
- detailed description point 3 (if needed)
Workflow:
-
Check for staged changes.
- Action: Run
git diff --staged --quiet --exit-code.
- If staged changes exist (exit code 1):
- Generate a commit message based on the output of
git diff --staged.
- Proceed to step 5.
- If no staged changes exist (exit code 0):
-
Check for modified and untracked files.
- Action: Run
git status --porcelain.
- If there are modified or untracked files:
- If there are no changes:
- Respond with the single phrase:
No changes to commit.
- End the workflow.
-
Handle untracked files.
- Action: Check the output of
git status --porcelain for files prefixed with ??.
- If untracked files exist:
- Use the
question tool with: question="There are untracked files. Do you want to include them in the commit message generation?", header="Untracked files", options=[{label="Yes, include them", description="Include untracked files in the commit message analysis"}, {label="No, skip them", description="Only analyze modified/staged files"}]
- If "Yes":
- Generate the commit message based on the output of
git diff and git ls-files --others --exclude-standard.
- If "No":
- Generate the commit message based on the output of
git diff.
- If no untracked files exist:
- Generate the commit message based on the output of
git diff.
-
Adhere to Commitizen Conventions.
- Types:
feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore
- Title: Use imperative mood ("add" not "added"), keep under 50 characters
- Body: At least ONE bullet point describing the changes
- For large diffs: Focus on the most significant changes, group related changes
- If commit history is provided: Follow the established patterns and style from recent commits
-
Confirm the commit message.
- Action: Present the generated commit message to the user inline.
- Use the
question tool with: question="Does this commit message look good?", header="Confirm message", options=[{label="Yes, looks good", description="Proceed to commit"}, {label="No, let me give feedback", description="Provide feedback to improve the message"}]
- If "Yes":
- If "No":
-
Iterate on the commit message.
- Action: Use the
question tool to ask for feedback: question="What changes would you like to make to the commit message?", header="Refine message", options=[{label="Custom feedback", description="Type your specific feedback or requested changes"}]
- Generate a new commit message based on the user's feedback.
- Return to step 5.
-
Confirm the commit.
- Action: Use the
question tool with: question="Do you want to commit these changes?", header="Execute commit", options=[{label="Yes, commit", description="Run git commit with the generated message"}, {label="No, cancel", description="Abort the commit workflow"}]
- If "Yes, commit":
- Run
git commit -m "{{generated_commit_message}}".
- If "No, cancel":
