Git Commit Message Generator

Automatically generates clear, concise git commit messages that describe code changes without requiring manual message writing.

Description

This skill instructs the AI assistant to provide well-formatted git commit messages immediately after completing any file modification action. The messages are designed to be descriptive enough to understand changes without reading the code, following git best practices.

Instructions

When you complete an action that results in modifying a file:

1. **Generate a commit message** that clearly describes the change made

2. **Keep it concise** - typically under 72 characters for the subject line

3. **Make it descriptive** - should convey what was changed and why without needing to see the code

4. **Follow conventions**:

- Use imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature" not "Added feature")

- Start with a verb when possible

- Be specific about what changed

5. **Output format**: Provide ONLY the commit message text

- No terminal commands (no `git commit -m "..."`)

- No explanatory text

- Just the message itself
