Commit

Git Commit Skill

Create a focused, single-line commit following conventional commit conventions.

Instructions

1. Analyze changes: Run git status and git diff to understand what was modified
2. Stage only modified files: Add files individually by name. NEVER use git add -A or git add .
3. Write commit message: Follow the conventional commit format as a single line

Conventional Commit Format

<type>: <description>

Types

• feat: New feature or capability
• fix: Bug fix
• refactor: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
• docs: Documentation only changes
• style: Formatting, missing semicolons, etc (no code change)
• test: Adding or correcting tests
• chore: Maintenance tasks, dependency updates, etc
• perf: Performance improvement

Rules

• Message MUST be a single line (no multi-line messages)
• Description should be lowercase, imperative mood ("add" not "added")
• No period at the end
• Keep under 72 characters total

Examples

feat: add token usage tracking for AI providers
fix: resolve null pointer in job executor
refactor: extract common validation logic
docs: update API endpoint documentation
chore: upgrade sqlx to 0.7

Execution Steps

1. Run git status to see all changes
2. Run git diff to understand the changes in detail
3. Run git log --oneline -5 to see recent commit style
4. Stage ONLY the modified/relevant files: git add <file1> <file2> ...
5. Create the commit with conventional format:

   git commit -m "<type>: <description>"
   

6. Run git status to verify the commit succeeded
