SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires Bash, git, gh.

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the guesswork and inconsistency in git commit messages by enforcing the Conventional Commits specification, ensuring your project history remains clean, readable, and machine-parseable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Staging: Analyzes your workspace to stage only relevant changes while protecting sensitive files like secrets or environment variables.
  • Semantic Message Generation: Automatically suggests commit types (feat, fix, refactor, etc.) and scopes based on your diff analysis.
  • Safety Guardrails: Detects breaking changes and provides a structured workflow to handle pre-commit hook failures or multi-concern commits.

Quick Start

Ask the git-commiter skill to analyze your current changes and generate a standardized commit message for your work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate conventional commits in my git workflow?

Automating conventional commits requires analyzing your current git diff to categorize changes and generate semantic messages. This skill stages relevant files while protecting secrets, ensuring clean, machine-parseable project history automatically.

Can I generate semantic commit messages automatically from my staged changes?

Generating semantic commit messages from staged changes involves scanning the diff to identify types like feat or fix. This skill analyzes your workspace to suggest appropriate categories and scopes based on the actual code modifications.

Does this git commit automation tool require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, this git commit automation tool requires the GitHub CLI alongside Bash and git. These dependencies are necessary to execute commits safely, manage repository interactions, and enforce the Conventional Commits specification.

What is the best way to handle breaking changes in conventional commits?

Handling breaking changes in conventional commits requires detecting modifications that break existing APIs. This skill identifies breaking updates during diff analysis and provides a structured workflow to manage pre-commit hook failures safely.

How do I avoid committing sensitive files when automating git staging?

Avoiding sensitive files during automated git staging requires intelligent workspace analysis. This skill protects environment variables and secrets by staging only relevant code changes, preventing accidental exposure in your repository history.

Why should I use conventional commits for my version control history?

Using conventional commits for version control history ensures your commit logs remain clean, readable, and machine-parseable. This standardization categorizes changes systematically, eliminating guesswork and inconsistency across development workflows.
