FAQPage Schema

How do I prevent accidentally committing sensitive files like credentials or API keys?▼

This Skill automatically identifies sensitive files during commit workflows by analyzing your repository and .gitignore patterns, then blocks credentials and secrets from being staged. It classifies files as AUTO_EXCLUDE, AUTO_COMMIT, or CONFIRM to guide safe decisions before you push.

What's the best way to write Conventional Commit messages for my Git workflow?▼

Conventional Commits follow a structured format (type: description) that standardizes your commit history. This Skill generates high-quality Conventional Commit messages with rationale based on your staged changes, improving readability and enabling automated changelog generation.

How can I update my .gitignore to catch sensitive patterns I'm missing?▼

.gitignore files define which files Git ignores; gaps leave secrets exposed. This Skill validates your .gitignore against staged changes, proposes updates for missing sensitive patterns, and helps you maintain coverage as your repository grows.

Can I automate file classification decisions during commit preparation?▼

Yes. This Skill analyzes git status and classifies each changed file automatically—marking obvious commits, excluding sensitive data, and prompting you only for ambiguous items. This reduces manual review while maintaining safety.

Why should I use Conventional Commits instead of freeform commit messages?▼

Conventional Commits enable machines to parse your history, automate versioning, and generate changelogs. They also make code review faster by signaling intent (fix, feature, breaking change) in the message structure itself.
