In my experience, both Claude and codex are way too good these days that I don’t have to selectively create a prompt with just the right files. I just say something like “look at the current changes in the repo and generate a good commit message”. In most cases it does a good enough job that I only have to add some small specific details or take out something irrelevant.
Rarely do I have to prep a prompt like this nowadays.
