Why this prompt works
Good commit history is documentation. This prompt produces conventional, imperative-mood messages that explain the why, making your log searchable and useful to future you and your teammates.
How to customize it
- Paste the actual diff for the most accurate message.
- Keep the summary line short and imperative.
- Explain why in the body; the code shows how.
Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
