# Commit Message Draft a Conventional Commit message from staged changes. ## Invocation Notice - Inform the user when this skill is being invoked by name: `commit-message`. ## Critical Constraints - Use only staged changes (`--cached` / staged SCM state) as input. - Resolve and use the repository root for all SCM calls. - If no staged changes exist after one retry, stop and inform the user. - Always include an `AI-assistant: <AGENT>` footer. - Output only the final commit message in one markdown code block. ## Workflow 1. Resolve repository root. Prefer workspace root when known; otherwise run `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`. 2. Retrieve staged changes. Prefer `get_changed_files` with `repositoryPath: <repo-root>` and staged state. If that tool is unavailable, use SCM tooling with explicit repo context. If SCM tooling is unavailable, use `git -C <repo-root> diff --cached`. 3. Validate staged content exists. If empty, retry once with explicit repo root; if still empty, inform user and stop. 4. Analyze the staged diff. Identify changed files, behavior impact, logical scope, and likely commit type. 5. Incorporate user arguments/context when provided. Preserve explicit issue refs and constraints from user input. 6. Draft the commit message using `references/conventional-commit-rules.md`. 7. Return only the final message in a fenced code block, ready for `git commit -F -`. ## References - `references/conventional-commit-rules.md` - subject/body/footer
