Conventional commits enforce a standardized format—<type>(<scope>): <subject>—for all commit messages. This Skill automates that enforcement through pre-commit hooks and validation, ensuring consistency across feature branches, bug fixes, and documentation changes while blocking AI-attributed commits.

Yes. This Skill parses conventional commit messages to auto-generate changelogs and manage semantic versioning. It extracts commit types (feat, fix, docs, etc.) and scopes to build structured release notes tied to version increments.

The Skill recognizes and validates ten commit types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, and revert. Each type maps to semantic versioning rules and changelog organization.

Pre-commit hooks intercept commits before they're written to the repository, checking message format against conventional commit rules. If a message fails validation, the commit is rejected and you're prompted to correct the type and subject.

Yes. The Skill integrates with automated tooling for linting, testing, and changelog automation. It's designed for development pipelines and works across feature branches, maintenance tasks, and release versioning without requiring workflow restructuring.

The Skill prompts you interactively to supply the missing type and subject before allowing the commit to proceed, ensuring no commit bypasses the conventional format.
