commit-message-storyteller
This skill is for Code Review & Testing and helps you write a commit message, generate a narrative commit message, and summarize code changes for git.
Analyzes git diffs or staged changes and generates narrative commit messages that explain WHY a change was made, not just what changed — following Conventional Commits format. Use when asked to "write a commit message", "generate a commit", "describe my changes", "what should I commit this as", "commit this", "summarize my diff", or "help me commit". Works with git diff output, staged files, or plain descriptions of changes.
Helps you
- Write a commit message
- Generate a narrative commit message
- Summarize code changes for git
- Describe why a change was made
- Explain a git diff
