## Description

Generates compressed commit messages in Conventional Commits format from the staged diff, aiming for a parseable subject line without the paragraph of narration agents tend to produce.

It reads the repository and works through git, so it declares filesystem read and git access. Machine-readable commit messages are genuinely useful downstream for changelogs and release automation. The caution is that a message generated from a diff describes what changed, not why — and the why is the part a future reader actually needs.

## Why it scored 40
