Commit Message Skill

Generate commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]

Types

Type	When to Use
feat	New feature
fix	Bug fix
docs	Documentation only
style	Formatting (no code change)
refactor	Code change that neither fixes nor adds
perf	Performance improvement
test	Adding or updating tests
chore	Maintenance tasks

Rules

1. Subject line maximum 72 characters
2. Use imperative mood ("add" not "added" or "adds")
3. No period at the end of subject line
4. Separate subject from body with blank line
5. Body explains what and why, not how

Examples

Simple:

fix(auth): prevent redirect loop on expired sessions

With body:

feat(api): add rate limiting to public endpoints

- Limits requests to 100/minute per IP
- Returns 429 status with retry-after header
- Configurable via RATE_LIMIT_MAX env variable
