When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill in the following situations:

How to Write Commit Messages
Step 1: Check Staged Changes
Check the staged changes using the git diff --staged command.
Step 2: Determine Commit Type
Select the appropriate type and Gitmoji for the changes:
| Gitmoji | Code | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| โจ | :sparkles: |
feat |
Add a new feature |
| ๐ | :bug: |
fix |
Fix a bug |
| ๐ | :memo: |
docs |
Add or update documentation |
| ๐จ | :art: |
style |
Code formatting, structural improvement |
| โป๏ธ | :recycle: |
refactor |

| โ | :white_check_mark: |
test |

| ๐ง | :wrench: |

Step 3: Compose the Message
Compose the commit message in the following format:
<gitmoji> <type>(<scope>): <subject>
<body>
<footer>Components:
- Gitmoji (Required): An emoji that visually represents the purpose of the commit.
- Type (Required): The category of change (feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore, release).
- Scope (Optional): The name of the affected module (e.g.,
(api),(chat),(auth)). - Subject (Required): A concise description of the changes.
- Use the imperative present tense ("add", not "added").
- Use a lowercase first letter.
- No period at the end.
- Keep it under 50 characters.
- Body (Optional): Explanation of the motivation for the change and how it differs from previous behavior.
- Footer (Optional): Issue tracking (
Closes #123) or recording Breaking Changes.
Step 4: Example
โจ feat(auth): add password reset via email
- Implemented a new endpoint `/auth/request-password-reset` that sends a secure, time-limited token to the user's email.
- Added a corresponding service to handle token generation and email dispatch.
Closes #78Guidelines
- Language: Write commit messages in English.
- Gitmoji Reference: https://gitmoji.dev/
- Clarity: The Subject explains "what," and the Body explains "why."
- Breaking Changes: Record them in the Footer with the
BREAKING CHANGE:prefix.
