### Instructions

```xml
	<description>This file contains a prompt template for generating conventional commit messages. It provides instructions, examples, and formatting guidelines to help users write standardized, descriptive commit messages in accordance with the Conventional Commits specification.</description>
```

### Workflow

**Follow these steps:**

1. Run `git status` to review changed files.
2. Run `git diff` or `git diff --cached` to inspect changes.
3. Stage your changes with `git add <file>`.
4. Construct your commit message using the following XML structure.
5. After generating your commit message, Copilot will automatically run the following command in your integrated terminal (no confirmation needed):

```bash
git commit -m "type(scope): description"
```

6. Just execute this prompt and Copilot will handle the commit for you in the terminal.

### Commit Message Structure

	<body>(optional: more detailed explanation)</body>
	<footer>(optional: e.g. BREAKING CHANGE: details, or issue references)</footer>
</commit-message>
```
