git-commit-helper

Generate conventional commit messages automatically from git diff

Quick Example

# You make changes and stage them
git add auth.service.ts login.component.tsx

# Run git commit
git commit

# Skill auto-suggests:
feat(auth): add JWT-based user authentication

- Implement login/logout functionality
- Add token management service
- Include auth guards for protected routes

Closes #42

What It Does

Analyzes your staged changes and generates:

• ✅ Conventional commit format
• ✅ Appropriate type (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
• ✅ Meaningful scope
• ✅ Clear subject line
• ✅ Detailed body (if needed)
• ✅ Issue references

Commit Types

• feat: New features
• fix: Bug fixes
• docs: Documentation
• refactor: Code improvements
• perf: Performance
• test: Testing
• chore: Maintenance

Best Practices

Good commits:

feat(auth): add user authentication
fix(api): resolve memory leak in connection pool
docs: update API documentation with examples

Bad commits:

fix stuff                    # Too vague
added user authentication    # Past tense
Update docs.                 # Wrong format

Integration

Works with:

• code-reviewer skill: Review before commit
• /review command: Comprehensive pre-commit check
• Pre-commit hooks: Automated message generation
