  Creates professional git commits following conventional-commits format.
  Trigger: When creating commits, after completing code changes, when user asks to commit.

Critical Rules

• ALWAYS use conventional-commits format: `type(scope): description`
• ALWAYS keep the first line under 72 characters
• ALWAYS ask for user confirmation before committing
• NEVER be overly specific (avoid counts like "6 subsections", "3 files")
• NEVER include implementation details in the title
• NEVER use `-n` flag unless user explicitly requests it
• NEVER use `git push --force` or `git push -f` (destructive, rewrites history)
• NEVER proactively offer to commit - wait for user to explicitly request it

Commit Format

type(scope): concise description

- Key change 1
- Key change 2
- Key change 3

Types

| Type | Use When | |------|----------| | `feat` | New feature or functionality | | `fix` | Bug fix | | `docs` | Documentation only | | `chore` | Maintenance, dependencies, configs | | `refactor` | Code change without feature/fix | | `test` | Adding or updating tests | | `perf` | Performance improvement | | `style` | Formatting, no code change |

Scopes

| Scope | When | |-------|------| | `api` | Changes in `api/` | | `ui` | Changes in `ui/` | | `sdk` | Changes in `prowler/` | | `mcp` | Changes in `mcp_server/` | | `skills` | Changes in `skills/` | | `ci` | Changes in `.github/` | | `docs` | Changes in `docs/` | | *omit* | Multiple scopes or root-level |

Good vs Bad Examples

Title Line

# GOOD - Concise and clear
feat(api): add provider connection retry logic
fix(ui): resolve dashboard loading state
chore(skills): add Celery documentation
docs: update installation guide

# BAD - Too specific or verbose
feat(api): add provider connection retry logic with exponential backoff and jitter (3 retries max)
chore(skills): add comprehensive Celery documentation covering 8 topics
fix(ui): fix the bug in dashboard component on line 45

Body (Bullet Points)

# GOOD - High-level changes
- Add retry mechanism for failed connections
- Document task composition patterns
- Expand configuration reference

# BAD - Too detailed
- Add retry with max_retries=3, backoff=True, jitter=True
- Add 6 subsections covering chain, group, chord
- Update lines 45-67 in dashboard.tsx

Workflow

1. **Analyze changes**

   git status
   git diff --stat HEAD
   git log -3 --oneline  # Check recent commit style

2. **Draft commit message**

• Choose appropriate type and scope
• Write concise title (< 72 chars)
• Add 2-5 bullet points for significant changes

3. **Present to user for confirmation**

• Show files to be committed
• Show proposed message
• Wait for explicit confirmation

4. **Execute commit**

   git add <files>
   git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
   type(scope): description

   - Change 1
   - Change 2
   EOF
   )"

Decision Tree

Single file changed?
├─ Yes → May omit body, title only
└─ No → Include body with key changes

Multiple scopes affected?
├─ Yes → Omit scope: `feat: description`
└─ No → Include scope: `feat(api): description`

Fixing a bug?
├─ User-facing → fix(scope): description
└─ Internal/dev → chore(scope): fix description

Adding documentation?
├─ Code docs (docstrings) → Part of feat/fix
└─ Standalone docs → docs: or docs(scope):
