Git Commit Writer

Git Commit Writer is a skill that reads staged git diffs and produces commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification. Rather than leaving developers to write freeform messages, it inspects the actual changes in the staging area and determines the appropriate commit type — such as feat, fix, refactor, docs, or chore — based on what was modified. It derives the scope from the changed files, so the output is specific to the code that was actually touched. When a staged diff includes breaking changes, the skill flags them accordingly in the commit message. If multiple logically distinct changes have been staged together, the skill suggests splitting them into separate commits rather than bundling unrelated work into one message. The skill works with any git repository and requires no configuration tied to a specific hosting provider or workflow. This makes it suitable for any project regardless of language, framework, or CI setup. The primary value is replacing vague or inconsistently formatted commit messages with structured, machine-readable entries that other tools — changelogs, semantic versioning scripts, code review systems — can parse reliably.
