Create a commit with a conventional commit message based on staged changes. Automatically stages all changes and analyzes the diff to generate an appropriate commit message.
## Workflow
Execute these steps in order.
---
### Step 1: Check Repository State
Check for changes to commit:
```bash
git status --porcelain
```
- If output is empty, report: "Nothing to commit. Working directory is clean." and stop.
- If changes exist, continue to Step 2.
---
### Step 2: Stage All Changes
Stage all changes including untracked files:
```bash
git add .
```
Report: "Staged all changes."
---
### Step 3: Analyze Changes
View the staged diff to understand what changed:
```bash
git diff --cached --stat
```
```bash
git diff --cached
```
Analyze the diff to determine:
- The type of change (feat, fix, docs, refactor, etc.)
- The scope (optional, based on affected files/modules)
- A concise description of what changed
---
### Step 4: Construct Commit Message
Build a conventional commit message following this format:
```
<type>(<optional-scope>): <description>
[optional body]
```
**Types:**
- `feat` - New feature
- `fix` - Bug fix
- `docs` - Documentation only
- `style` - Formatting, no code change
- `refactor` - Code restructuring without behavior change
- `test` - Adding or updating tests
- `chore` - Maintenance tasks
- `build` - Build system or dependencies
- `ci` - CI configuration
- `perf` - Performance improvement
**Rules:**
- Use imperative mood ("add" not "added")
- Use lowercase
- No trailing period
- Keep description under 72 characters
- Add a body only for complex changes or breaking changes
- Do NOT add co-author, attribution, or "Generated with" lines
---
### Step 5: Create Commit
Create the commit using a heredoc for proper formatting:
```bash
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<commit message here>
EOF
)"
```
---
### Step 6: Handle Result
**On success:**
- Report the commit hash: "Committed: {short_hash} - {message}"
**On pre-commit
