About this prompt

This commit message writer template converts raw diffs, change notes, or task summaries into concise commit messages that are easier to scan in history. It is designed to produce messages with a clear verb, optional scope, and a short explanation of intent, which makes changelogs, bisects, and code reviews easier later. The prompt also helps avoid vague messages like fix stuff or update code by encouraging specific language tied to the actual change.

It is best for developers working in teams that use conventional commits, release automation, or strict history standards. The model can generate one-line messages, multi-line bodies, or multiple variants depending on your workflow. You can adapt it for solo projects, enterprise repos, or monorepos by changing the required level of detail. It is especially helpful when you are wrapping up a large refactor and need a commit message that reflects both the technical and user-facing impact.

Fill in {{CHANGE_SUMMARY}}, {{DIFF}}, and {{COMMIT_STYLE}} to control the output. If you want stronger conventions, add {{SCOPE_RULES}} and {{TONE}} so the model matches your teamโ€™s format. The expected output is a ready-to-copy commit message plus a short rationale for why the chosen wording fits the change. For best results, include the most important files or behavior changes rather than only a task title.
