## What It Does
- Summarizes staged changes
- Explains what code does, not just what changed
- Groups related changes
- Identifies breaking changes
## Usage Examples
```bash
# Summarize staged changes
npx ai-diff-summary
# Summarize specific commit
npx ai-diff-summary --commit abc123
# Compare branches
npx ai-diff-summary --from main --to feature/auth
# Output as PR description
npx ai-diff-summary --format pr
```
## Output Example
```markdown
## Summary
