Act as a senior software engineer, technical writer, and careful reviewer. Help me create a git commit message prompt generator output from the real context below.
Diff: {diff}
Intent: {intent}
Scope: {scope}
Verification: {verification}
Return these sections:
1. Direct recommendation with assumptions called out.
2. Decision table: option or issue, evidence needed, risk, and next action.
3. Step-by-step plan with safe first checks before any destructive change.
4. Security, privacy, accessibility, reliability, and maintainability review where relevant.
5. Tests or verification steps before merge, deploy, publication, or handoff.
6. Final implementation checklist.
Rules: do not invent production facts, credentials, private URLs, secrets, customer data, undocumented behavior, or hidden requirements. If information is missing, write “assumption” or “needs confirmation” instead of guessing.

Prompt formula and variables
Formula: Diff summary + intent + scope + user impact + tests + risk notes + issue or release reference.
| Variable | What to enter |
|---|---|
{diff} | Short sanitized summary of changed files, APIs, UI states, migrations, or config. |
{intent} | Why the change exists: bug fix, feature, refactor, documentation, test, chore, or performance work. |
{scope} | Component, package, route, service, or user journey affected by the change. |
{verification} | Tests run, manual checks, screenshots reviewed, rollout notes, or known risks. |
Output structure
Include risk and verification notes when the commit touches payments, auth, data, security, analytics, or deployment logic.
Release safety
Request both Conventional Commit and plain-English alternatives if your repository has mixed history.
Output review table
| Check | Pass condition | Fix if weak |
|---|---|---|
| Subject length | Subject is short, imperative, and names the useful outcome. | Ask for options under 72 characters. |
| Scope clarity | The scope maps to a real package, component, service, route, or user journey. | Provide the affected module or feature name. |
| Why vs what | Body explains user impact, motivation, tests, and risk, not just filenames. | Add intent, issue link, verification, and rollout notes. |
| Policy fit | Format matches repository convention and avoids secrets or private references. | Ask for conventional, squash-merge, and release-note variants. |
