commit-message-storyteller

Analyzes git diffs or staged changes and generates narrative commit messages that explain WHY a change was made, not just what changed — following Conventional Commits format. Use when asked to "write a commit message", "describe my changes", "what should I commit this as", or "summarize my diff". Works with git diff output, staged files, or plain descriptions of changes. Does not run git commit; to stage files and make the commit, use the git-commit skill.
