Writes clear git commit messages in the conventional commits style from a diff or a description of the change. Use when the user asks for a commit message, wants to tidy up a message before pushing, or has staged changes and no wording yet.

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

# Commit message writer

## When to use

- The user pastes a diff, or says "write a commit message for this".
- The user shows a vague message ("fix stuff", "wip") and wants it improved.
- A change touches several areas and should be split into more than one commit.

## Format

```
<type>(<optional scope>): <summary>

<optional body>

<optional footer>
```

Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `build`, `ci`, `chore`. Add `!` after the type or a
`BREAKING CHANGE:` footer for incompatible changes.

## Rules

1. The summary is at most 72 characters, in the imperative mood ("add", not "added"), with no trailing period.
2. Say what changed and why, not how. The diff already shows how.
3. Use the body for the reason, the trade-off or the side effects. Wrap lines at 72 characters.
4. Reference issues in the footer, for example `Closes #42`.
5. If the diff mixes unrelated changes, say so and propose one message per change.

## Steps

1. Read the diff and find the single main intent.
2. Pick the type and a scope that matches a folder or module name used in the repo.
3. Write the summary, then the body only if the reason is not obvious.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lethe044/agentskill-kit/commit-message-writer@sha256:de3f605c379bae47

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
