Commit Message Generator

Generate a structured git commit message based on current changes and repository patterns.

When to Activate

User asks for help with commit message

User wants to generate a commit message

User needs conventional commit formatting

User asks "what should my commit say"

Quick Process

Gather Git Information:

Run git status to see staged and unstaged changes
Run git diff --cached to get detailed staged changes
Run git diff to get unstaged changes (if any)
Run git log --oneline -10 to understand repository commit patterns

Parse Input: Extract any scope or focus area from user's request

Generate Message: Create commit message following conventional format:

Concise summary line (≤100 characters)
Detailed explanation of WHAT and WHY (1-3 paragraphs)
Claude Code signature

Output Format

Generate commit message in this format:

<type>(<scope>): <summary> <body explaining WHAT changed and WHY> 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci, build

Examples

"Generate a commit message" "What should my commit say for these auth changes" "Write commit message focusing on the API updates" "Create commit for database migration"

Delegation

Invokes the commit-message-generator-agent with:

staged_changes: git diff --cached output

unstaged_changes: git diff output (for context)

commit_history: recent git log for pattern matching

scope: optional focus area from user

Safety

Never executes git commit - only generates message text

Shows message in code block for easy copying

Requires git repository with changes
