Commit Message Generator
Generate a structured git commit message based on current changes and repository patterns.
When to Activate
- User asks for help with commit message
- User wants to generate a commit message
- User needs conventional commit formatting
- User asks "what should my commit say"
Quick Process
-
Gather Git Information:
- Run
git statusto see staged and unstaged changes - Run
git diff --cachedto get detailed staged changes - Run
git diffto get unstaged changes (if any) - Run
git log --oneline -10to understand repository commit patterns
- Run
-
Parse Input: Extract any scope or focus area from user's request
-
Generate Message: Create commit message following conventional format:
- Concise summary line (≤100 characters)
- Detailed explanation of WHAT and WHY (1-3 paragraphs)
- Claude Code signature
Output Format
Generate commit message in this format:
<type>(<scope>): <summary>
<body explaining WHAT changed and WHY>
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci, build
Examples
"Generate a commit message"
"What should my commit say for these auth changes"
"Write commit message focusing on the API updates"
"Create commit for database migration"
Delegation
Invokes the commit-message-generator-agent with:
- staged_changes: git diff --cached output
- unstaged_changes: git diff output (for context)
- commit_history: recent git log for pattern matching
- scope: optional focus area from user
Safety
- Never executes
git commit- only generates message text - Shows message in code block for easy copying
- Requires git repository with changes

review-plan
Review implementation plans for completeness and feasibility. Use when user says "review this plan before I start", "is this implementation plan complete", "check if this plan aligns with our patterns", "give me feedback on my implementation strategy", or "validate this plan before we execute it".
plan-implementation
Create implementation plans for features and changes. Use when user says "plan how to implement user authentication", "how should I add dark mode to the app", "what's the best way to refactor the database layer", "create a plan for migrating to the new API", or "I need to implement [feature] - help me plan it out".
execute-plan
Execute implementation plans step-by-step. Use when user says "execute the plan", "implement the plan we created", "start building based on the plan", "go ahead and implement it", "proceed with the implementation", "execute as a stack", "create a PR stack while implementing", "implement with one PR per step", or references a plan file and wants to begin coding.
plan-swarm
Refine plans through multi-agent expert discussion. Use when user says "get multiple expert opinions on this plan", "I want different perspectives on this approach", "have the agents discuss this strategy", "refine the plan through collaborative review", or "what would different specialists think about this design".
create-pr
Create or update pull requests with conventional commits. Use when user says "create a PR for these changes", "submit this for review", "open a pull request", "push these changes and create a PR", "I'm ready to submit this work", or "create PR and link to issue
implement-spec
Orchestrate implementation of spec-workflow tasks. Use when user says "implement the spec", "execute spec tasks", "run the spec workflow", "implement spec-name tasks", or needs to coordinate agent execution for spec-workflow documents.
