When to Use
- User asks to "commit" changes
- User wants to "save" their work to git
- User asks for help with commit messages
- User wants to stage and commit files
Methodology
Phase 1: Status Check
- Run
git status to see current state
- Run
git diff --staged to see staged changes
- Run
git diff to see unstaged changes
- Check recent commit history for message style
Phase 2: Analysis
- Categorize Changes: Identify what changed (new files, modifications, deletions)
- Determine Type: Is this a feature, fix, refactor, etc.?
- Identify Scope: What component/module is affected?
- Summarize Purpose: What does this change accomplish?
Phase 3: Commit Creation
- Stage relevant files if not already staged
- Generate conventional commit message
- Execute the commit
- Verify success with
git status
Phase 4: Output
Report:
- What was committed
- The commit message used
- The new commit hash
Guidelines
- Follow Conventional Commits format:
type(scope): description
- Keep subject line under 72 characters
- Use imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- Don't commit sensitive files (.env, credentials, etc.)
- Don't use --force or --amend unless explicitly requested
- Include meaningful description of WHY, not just WHAT
Examples
Example 1: Auto Commit
User Input: "Commit my changes"
Expected Behavior:
- Run
git status and git diff to understand changes
- Analyze the nature of changes
- Generate appropriate commit message
- Stage files if needed
- Create commit and report success
Example 2: Specific Type
User Input: "创建一个 fix 类型的 commit"
Expected Behavior:
- 检查当前的改动
- 确认这些改动符合 "fix" 类型
- 生成格式为
fix(scope): 描述 的提交信息
- 执行提交并报告结果
