# Git Commit Helper

When the user asks to commit staged changes:

1. Run `git diff --staged` to see what changed.
2. Determine the change type (feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore).
3. Write a concise conventional-commit subject line (<= 72 chars) plus an optional body
   explaining the "why".
4. Show the proposed message and let the user confirm before committing.

Never commit secrets or large generated files. If you see credentials in the diff,
stop and warn the user.
