description: Use this skill BEFORE running any git commit command. Triggers when about to run git commit. Ensures commit messages follow Conventional Commits specification.
Git Commit Messages
Write commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification.
Format
<type>(<scope>): <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
Types
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
feat | New feature |
fix | Bug fix |
docs | Documentation only |
style | Code style (formatting, no logic change) |
refactor | Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
perf | Performance improvement |
test | Adding or correcting tests |
build | Build system or external dependencies |
ci | CI configuration |
chore | Maintenance tasks |
revert | Reverts a previous commit |
Rules
- Use imperative mood in description ("add feature" not "added feature")
- Do not end description with a period
- Keep description under 72 characters
- Separate subject from body with a blank line
- Use body to explain what and why, not how
Breaking Changes
Add ! after type/scope or include BREAKING CHANGE: in footer:
feat(api)!: remove deprecated endpoints
BREAKING CHANGE: The /v1/users endpoint has been removed.
Scope
Optional. Use to specify area of change (e.g., api, ui, auth, db).
Attribution
Do NOT include any AI attribution, co-author tags, or generated-by footers in commit messages.
