name: conventional-commits description: A guide for writing commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification. Use this skill any time you need to create a commit message.
Commit messages should follow Conventional Commits structure:
<type>(<scope>): <description>
<body>
- Type: REQUIRED. One of: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, revert.
- Scope: Optional. Only include the scope if the project is large and multifaceted.
- Description: REQUIRED. Concise summary in the imperative mood (e.g., "add", not "added").
- Body: REQUIRED. Detailed "why" behind the changes. It should be a single continuous paragraph wrapped at 72 characters. DO NOT include empty lines.
- Line Length: ALL lines (both the type/scope/description and body) MUST be under 72 characters.
- Backticks: Wrap all filenames, paths, and variable names in backticks (
).
Execute commits by running this exact command structure, replacing $GENERATED_COMMIT_MESSAGE with your message:
git commit -F - <<'EOF'
$GENERATED_COMMIT_MESSAGE
EOF
