# Commit Helper Skill

Write clear commit messages and structure commits well.

## Inspecting the change

Run `git status` and `git diff --staged` first. Never write a message without
reading the actual diff.

## Message format

Subject line under 72 characters, imperative mood, no trailing period. Add a
body only when the why isn't obvious from the diff.

## Splitting commits

If the diff mixes unrelated concerns, stage hunks separately with
`git add -p` and make one commit per concern.
