Commit Staged with Generated Message

Step 1: Analyze Staged Changes

Run using the Bash tool:

git diff --staged --name-only — list staged files
git diff --staged --stat — diff stats summary
git log --oneline -5 — recent commit style

Size guard: If --stat shows >10 files or >500 lines changed, skip full diff and rely on --stat + --name-only. Otherwise also run git diff --staged for detailed review.

Step 2: Generate Commit Message

Read .gitmessage for format (conventional commits: type[(scope)][!]: description).

Body guidelines (keep concise — no padding):

What changed: bullet points per logical group
For large changes, include diff stats summary as last line

Keep the message laser-focused. Don't repeat the subject line in the body. Small changes (1-2 files, <50 lines) need only a subject line, no body.

Step 3: Pause for Approval

Please review the commit message.

Approve: "yes", "y", "commit", "go ahead"
Edit: Provide your preferred message
Cancel: "no", "cancel", "stop"

Step 4: Commit

Once approved:

git commit --gpg-sign -m "[message]" — GPG signature mandatory
git status — verify success
