High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a commit message from my staged git changes?▼

Staged changes are analyzed through `git diff --cached` to automatically generate a commit message. The Skill infers change type, scope, and intent, then produces a descriptive, ready-to-copy message that explains both what changed and why it matters.

Can I customize the commit message format and style?▼

Yes. Commit message generation supports configurable requirements including message style (supportive or concise), format (descriptive or conventional), length constraints, and whether to include context and file counts via config.json settings.

What types of changes does the commit message analyzer recognize?▼

The analyzer categorizes changes into feature additions, bug fixes, refactors, and documentation updates. It identifies the scope and impact of each change type to create contextually appropriate commit messages.

Do I need to write the commit message myself after staging?▼

No. After staging your code changes with git, the Skill automatically drafts a professional commit message with both the message text and an analysis payload for review before committing.

What's the best way to ensure consistent commit messages across a team?▼

Automated commit message generation enforces consistency by applying configurable style and format rules uniformly. All team members stage their changes, then generate messages following the same conventions without manual effort.
