# Git Commit
Review all staged changes and create a well-crafted commit message.
## Steps
1. Run `git status` to see staged and unstaged changes
2. Run `git diff --cached` to review staged changes in detail
3. If nothing is staged, run `git diff` and suggest what to stage based on the changes
4. Run `git log --oneline -5` to see recent commit message style in the repo
5. Draft a concise commit message following conventional commits format:
- `feat:` — new feature
- `fix:` — bug fix
- `refactor:` — code restructuring without behavior change
- `docs:` — documentation changes
- `test:` — adding or updating tests
- `chore:` — build, tooling, config changes
6. Focus the message on **why** not **what** — the diff shows what changed
7. Keep the first line under 72 characters
8. Add a body paragraph if the change is non-trivial
9. Create the commit
Do NOT push unless explicitly asked. Do NOT use `--no-verify` or skip hooks.
