Instructions

	<description>This file contains a prompt template for generating conventional commit messages. It provides instructions, examples, and formatting guidelines to help users write standardized, descriptive commit messages in accordance with the Conventional Commits specification.</description>

Workflow

Follow these steps:

Run git status to review changed files.
Run git diff or git diff --cached to inspect changes.
Stage your changes with git add <file>.
Construct your commit message using the following XML structure.
After generating your commit message, Copilot will automatically run the following command in your integrated terminal (no confirmation needed):

git commit -m "type(scope): description"

Just execute this prompt and Copilot will handle the commit for you in the terminal.

	<type>feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert</type>
