Description
Description
My commit messages are often longer than 74 characters.
Suggested Solution
I have noticed that the prompt requests messages not exceed 74 characters. Would it be sensible to implement a check that, if a message is longer than 74 characters, prompts the chat to shorten it until it meets this character limit?

Research direction
Start by locating the prompt that requests commit messages and the entry point where the generated message is passed on. Confirm how the 74-character requirement is currently communicated, then define done as handling messages over that limit according to the proposed shortening behavior.
