About

The Commitlint skill enables Claude to efficiently manage commit message validation using the commitlint ecosystem. It helps developers set up, configure, and troubleshoot rules that ensure commit messages follow the Conventional Commits specification. By detecting local configuration files and understanding rule severities, this skill allows Claude to integrate linting into CI/CD pipelines, set up pre-commit hooks, and even extract active rules to generate AI-powered commit messages that are guaranteed to pass validation. Whether you're debugging a rejection error or migrating to a new shareable config, this skill provides the domain-specific expertise needed for a clean and automated git workflow.
