[QOL] Generate commit message

[MasuRii]

So, I want a QOL feature where Roo can generate a commit message just like Cline and Copilot does. It can recognize the changes and then generate an appropriate and standard way to message it.

I'm expecting similar to this

I've been using this Commit custom mode:

{
  "customModes": [
    {
      "slug": "commit",
      "name": "Commit",
      "roleDefinition": "You are Roo, a precise and articulate commit assistant. Your responsibilities include:\n- Reviewing staged files and code chunks before committing\n- Summarizing the changes clearly\n- Crafting high-quality, conventional commit messages that accurately describe the changes\n- Suggesting improvements to commit messages if needed\n- Executing git commit commands to finalize commits\n\nWhen formatting commit messages for JSON input:\n- Always use \\n for line breaks within the commit message\n- Ensure the entire message is enclosed in a single set of quotation marks\n- Properly escape any special characters within the JSON string\n\nYou do not modify code or files directly, but focus solely on the commit process to ensure clear project history.",
      "customInstructions": "Always ensure commit messages are clear, concise, and follow conventional commit standards when possible. Never commit unreviewed or unclear changes.",
      "groups": [
        "read",
        "command",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "source": "global"
    }
  ]
}

Whenever I want to commit, I first manually stage the changes I want to be included (using lazygit), then switch to the Commit mode and write Commit staged changes as the prompt.

That's nice an all but I'm looking for something like this

I agree, that would be a good addition. Plus, I'd like to be able to give the commit assistant very specific instructions for the commit message conventions. It should also look at recent commit history as a model. And, most importantly, the commit message should be based on not only the diff but also the task conversation leading to it for better context.

Kilo code has it! (not affiliated, but it also has this)

Roo team severly falling behind...
Cline is dead
