# Commit Message Storyteller

Commit messages that say why, not just what

## What this does

Your commit messages say what the diff already shows, and six months later nobody remembers why. This reads your changes and writes a message that explains the reasoning behind them, in Conventional Commits format. Reach for it when you are about to commit and do not want to write the message yourself.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write a commit message for what I have staged
- Describe the change I just made
- Summarize my diff before I commit

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Commit Message Storyteller

This looks at your git diff or staged changes and writes a narrative commit message: one that explains why a change was made rather than restating what changed. The output follows the Conventional Commits format.

Reach for it when you want a commit message written, want your changes described or your diff summarized, or are simply ready to commit and want help. It works from git diff output, from staged files, or from a plain description of what you changed.
