name: git-commit-helper description: > Generate standardized git commit messages following Conventional Commits format. Use this skill when the user asks to commit code, write a commit message, or create a git commit. Enforces team conventions for type prefixes, scope naming, message length, and breaking change documentation.

Git Commit Message Guide

Format

Every commit message MUST follow this structure:

(): 
[optional body]
[optional footer]

Type (required)

| Type | When to use | |------|-------------| | feat | New feature or capability | | fix | Bug fix | | docs | Documentation only | | refactor | Code change that neither fixes nor adds | | test | Adding or updating tests | | chore | Build, CI, tooling changes |

Scope (required)

Scope MUST be a real module name from this project. See references/modules.md for the full list.

If unsure of the scope, check the file paths being changed β€” the top-level directory is usually the correct scope.

Subject (required)

  • Imperative mood: "add feature" not "added feature"
  • No period at the end
  • Max 72 characters total (including type and scope prefix)
  • Lowercase first letter

    • Body (optional)

  • Explain WHY, not WHAT (the diff shows what changed)
  • Wrap at 72 characters
  • Separate from subject with blank line

    • Breaking Changes

    If the commit introduces a breaking change, add footer:

    BREAKING CHANGE:

    Examples

    Good:

    feat(auth): add JWT token refresh endpoint
    Tokens now auto-refresh 5 minutes before expiry.
Previously users had to re-login after token expiration.


    fix(parser): handle empty input without crashing


    refactor(db): extract connection pooling to separate module
    BREAKING CHANGE: DatabaseClient constructor no longer accepts
pool config. Use PoolConfig.create() instead.

    Bad:

    updated some stuff          ← no type, no scope, vague
feat: Add new Feature.      ← capitalized, period, missing scope
fix(misc): various fixes    ← "misc" is not a real module
