How does this skill handle breaking changes?

The skill supports indicating breaking changes by adding a '!' after the type/scope or by including 'BREAKING CHANGE:' in the footer, which triggers a Major version bump.

What is the Conventional Commits specification?

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

Does it support types other than feat and fix?

Yes, it includes support for the Angular convention types such as build, ci, docs, perf, refactor, style, and test.

Is this skill compatible with semantic-release?

Yes, it generates messages specifically designed to be parsed by semantic-release, commitizen, and other industry-standard automation tools.
