How does this skill handle breaking changes?

The skill can indicate breaking changes in two ways: by adding a '!' after the type/scope (e.g., feat!) or by including a 'BREAKING CHANGE:' footer in the commit body.

Does it support the Angular commit message format?

Yes, it includes all recommended types from the Angular convention, such as build, ci, docs, perf, refactor, style, and test.

Will this help with automated releases?

Absolutely. By using this skill to format commits, your repository becomes compatible with tools like semantic-release and git-cliff which automate the entire release process based on commit history.

What is the primary benefit of using Conventional Commits?

It provides a lightweight convention on top of commit messages, creating a machine-readable history that allows for automated versioning, changelog generation, and better communication of changes to stakeholders.
