Generate a conventional commit message by analyzing staged git changes. Use when the user wants to create, write, or generate a git commit message from their current staged diff. Trigger on phrases like "commit", "commit message", "commit msg", "寫 commit", "提交訊息", "generate commit", or when the user has just finished making code changes and wants to commit them. Also trigger when the user runs /commit-message.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Generate Commit Message

Generate a conventional commit message from staged git changes following a structured prompt pipeline.

## Steps

### 1. Stage changes and get the diff

Only stage files that were modified as part of the current session's work. Do not blindly run `git add -A` or `git add .` — pick specific files relevant to the task. If unsure which files to stage, show the user `git status` and let them decide.

Then get both an overview and the full diff:

```bash
git diff --staged --stat
git diff --staged
```

If the diff is empty after this, inform the user that there are no staged changes and stop.

If the diff is very large (e.g., more than 2000 lines), focus on the `--stat` output and the most important hunks. For files where changes are too extensive, note that those diffs were omitted and base the summary on the stat overview and available context.

If the staged changes span many unrelated modules or more than 10 files across different concerns, suggest splitting into multiple focused commits before proceeding.

### 2. Check existing commit style

Run a quick scan of recent commits to match the repo's conventions:

```bash
git log --oneline -20
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add appleboy/skills/commit-message@sha256:f51275f005cef074

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.832a70a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
