What guidelines does it enforce for commit message structure?

The Skill enforces first-line summaries under 50 characters in imperative mood without a period, optional body text explaining rationale, and optional footer documenting breaking changes—all aligned with conventional commit best practices.

How do I use this after staging code changes?

Stage your changes with `git add`, then run `git diff --staged` to view the diff. This Skill analyzes the staged diff and suggests a formatted commit message ready to use, eliminating manual composition time.
