rewrite-commit-history

What problem does it solve?

Rewrite a feature branch history into clean conventional commits, enabling easier review, bisecting, and long-term maintainability of project history. It protects changes with a backup, supports soft resets, and commits atomically to preserve a progressive narrative.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guarded workflow: ensures a clean working tree and correct base branch before rewriting history.
• Safe backup and atomic recommits: creates a timestamped backup branch and applies changes in small, verifiable steps.
• Reorganization and conventionalization: groups related changes into logical commits for clearer PRs and traceability.
• Use Case: prior to PRs, clean up messy commits and convert them to conventional-commit format for a tidy history.

Quick Start

Run the rewrite-commit-history skill on a feature branch to produce a clean, conventional-commit history.
