Is this skill compatible with the Angular commit style?

Yes, it supports the common types used in the Angular convention, including build, ci, docs, perf, refactor, style, and test.

How does this skill handle breaking changes?

The skill can indicate breaking changes in two ways: by adding a '!' after the type/scope or by including a 'BREAKING CHANGE' footer, both of which trigger a MAJOR version bump in semantic versioning.

Can I use this for automated releases?

Absolutely. By structuring commits correctly, this skill allows tools like semantic-release to automatically determine the next version number and generate a changelog.

What is the Conventional Commits specification?

It is a lightweight convention on top of commit messages that provides an easy set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, making it easier to write automated tools on top of.

Does it enforce character limits on commit headers?

Yes, the skill follows best practices such as keeping the entire header under 72 characters to ensure readability in various Git interfaces.
