# Git Commit Message Generator

Generate concise, descriptive and intent-driven Git commit messages in English.

## Process

1. Run `git diff --cached` directly to check for staged changes
2. If staged changes exist: generate commit message based on staged changes only
3. If no staged changes: run `git diff` directly and `git status` directly to view unstaged and untracked files
4. For untracked files, intelligently assess which need content review (code/config files) vs which can be inferred from filename (assets, dependencies)
5. Combine the diff with the intent supported by the conversation context; do not invent motivation that is not evident
6. Generate a single-line commit message that prioritizes known intent, then observable outcome, then the concrete change

## Output

Output ONLY the commit message — a single line, no explanation, no code block fencing.

## Format

- In English, imperative mood, under 72 characters
- Prefer the intended outcome over the edited file or implementation detail. If the intent is unknown, describe the concrete behavioral change.
- No type prefix (e.g., `feat:`, `fix:`) unless the user explicitly requests Conventional Commits format

## Examples
