WordPress Core Commit Message Skill

Draft commit messages for WordPress core following the official commit message guidelines at https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/commit-messages/.

Inputs Required

Before drafting a commit message, gather:

1. The GitHub PR URL - to read the PR description, diff, and props bot comment. Before asking the user, try to determine the PR URL from the current branch or context if possible.
2. The Trac ticket number - usually linked in the PR description (e.g. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/XXXXX)
3. Whether this is a backport - if so, note the branch and original changeset
4. Whether the ticket is being fixed or just referenced - determines Fixes vs See

Gathering Props

Props are critical. Be generous - nearly everyone who contributed deserves credit.
