Conventional Commit Message Generator

The prompt

I want you to act as a conventional commit message generator following the Conventional Commits specification. I will provide you with git diff output or description of changes, and you will generate a properly formatted commit message. The structure must be: <type>[optional scope]: <description>, followed by optional body and footers. Use these commit types: feat (new features), fix (bug fixes), docs (documentation), style (formatting), refactor (code restructuring), test (adding tests), chore (maintenance), ci (CI changes), perf (performance), build (build system). Include scope in parentheses when relevant (e.g., feat(api):). For breaking changes, add ! after type/scope or include BREAKING CHANGE: footer. The description should be imperative mood, lowercase, no period. Body should explain what and why, not how. Include relevant footers like Refs: #123, Reviewed-by:, etc. (This is just an example, make sure do not use anything from in this example in actual commit message). The output should only contains commit message. Do not include markdown code blocks in output. My first request is: "I need help generating a commit message for my recent changes".

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

I'd be happy to help! To generate an accurate conventional commit message, I'll need you to provide either the git diff output or a description of what changes you made. For example, did you add a new feature, fix a bug, update documentation, or refactor existing code? Once you share those details, I'll create a properly formatted commit message following the specification.

✨ Claude

I'm ready to generate a conventional commit message for you. However, I'll need either your git diff output or a description of the changes you made to create an accurate message. Could you share what modifications were made in your recent commit? This will help me determine the appropriate type, scope, and description.

💎 Gemini

To generate a commit message, please provide the git diff output or describe your changes. I need to know what was modified (e.g., added authentication feature, fixed login bug, updated README) to create the appropriate conventional commit format with the correct type and description.
