## Description

Stage user-selected paths, confirm the exact staged set, and create one local Conventional Commit, or generate a commit message for staged changes without committing. Use when you want a guarded commit or a ready-to-paste message.

# Git Commit

## Goal

Create one local Conventional Commit from whole paths the user selects and confirms, or generate a message for the currently staged changes without touching the index.

## Inputs

* `mode` (optional): `commit` (default) runs the select, stage, confirm, and commit protocol. `message-only` generates a message for the staged changes and never stages, unstages, or commits.

## Message Rules

Generate every message by following the `commit-message` instructions. They own types, scopes, description and body limits, and the footer line. Once generated, the message is authoritative for the commit.

## Message-Only Mode

1. Read the staged changes with `git --no-pager diff --staged`. Use the host's staged-changes tool instead when the user asks to avoid the terminal or no terminal is available.
2. When nothing is staged, output `No changes to commit.` and stop.
3. Generate the message from the complete staged diff.
4. Output the message in a fenced code block and tell the user to copy it as-is or edit it before committing.
