Conventional Commit Skill

Use this skill to generate or validate Git commit messages.

Instructions

1. Analyze Changes: Look at the staged changes (using git diff --cached) or provided content.
2. Determine Type: Choose the most appropriate type from:
   • feat: A new feature
   • fix: A bug fix
   • chore: Maintenance or tool changes (Husky, EditorConfig, etc.)
   • docs: Documentation only changes
   • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, 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
3. Format Header:
   • Format: <type>[optional scope]: <description>
   • CRITICAL: The header must NOT exceed 100 characters.
   • CRITICAL: The description must NOT end with a period/full stop.
   • Use imperative, present tense: "change", not "changed" or "changes".
   • Use lowercase for the starting character of the description.
4. Body (Optional): Provide additional context if the change is complex. Wrap lines at 72 characters.
5. Footer (Optional): Mention breaking changes or reference issues (e.g., Resolves #123).
