Suggest Commit Message

Analyze the current changes and suggest a commit message. Do NOT commit or push.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Context

Run these in parallel:

git diff --staged — staged changes
git diff — unstaged changes
git status — overview of modified/new/deleted files
git branch --show-current — current branch name
git log --oneline -5 — recent commits for style reference

Step 2: Extract Ticket ID

From the branch name, extract any ticket ID pattern (e.g., PROJ-1234, FEAT-567, BUG-42).

Pattern: uppercase letters + hyphen + numbers (e.g., [A-Z]+-\d+)
If found, prefix the commit message with it

Step 3: Generate Message

Write a commit message following these rules:

If a ticket ID was found, format as: TICKET-ID: Description
Match the style of recent commits in the repo
First line: concise summary under 72 characters
If the change is non-trivial, add a blank line then a short body explaining the "why"
Focus on why the change was made, not what changed (the diff shows that)

Step 4: Output

Present the suggested message like this:

Suggested commit message:

TICKET-ID: Short description of the change

Optional body explaining why, if needed.

Then say: "Copy and use with git commit -m \"...\", or ask me to refine it."

Do NOT run git commit, git add, or git push. Only suggest.
