+tools: ['run_in_terminal', 'get_terminal_output']
+---
+
+### Instructions
+
+```xml
+ 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.
+
+```
+
+### 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 `.
+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
+
+```xml
+
+ feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert
+ ()
+ A short, imperative summary of the change
+ (optional: more detailed explanation)
+
+
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```xml
+
+ feat(parser): add ability to parse arrays
+ fix(ui): correct button alignment
+ docs: update README with usage instructions
+ refactor: improve performance of data processing
+ chore: update dependencies
+ feat!: send email on registration (BREAKING CHANGE: email service required)
+
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+```xml
+
+ Must be one of the allowed types. See https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#specification
+ Optional, but recommended for clarity.
+ Required. Use the imperative mood (e.g., "add", not "added").
+ Optional. Use for additional context.
+
+
+```
+
+### Final Step
+
+```xml
+
+ git commit -m "type(scope): description"
+ Replace with your constructed message. Include body and footer if needed.
+
+```
