Generating Commit Messages

Instructions

1. Run command git diff to see changes that will be committed (or command git diff --staged if they have already been staged).
2. Suggest a commit message with:

• A subject of 72 characters or less in Conventional Commits format (eg. "docs: add migration notes" or "fix: avoid double-render in list component").
• A detailed description, wrapped to 72 characters, using basic Markdown syntax.

Best practices

• Subjects should start with a type (eg. "docs", "fix", "feat", "chore" etc) following by a statement beginning with a verb (eg. "add", "remove", "rename" etc).
• Explain what and why, not how.
• Note alternatives which were considered but not implemented.
• Include references to previous commits or other artifacts (documentation, PRs) that are relevant.
