Does it support the Conventional Commits specification?

Absolutely. It enforces the standard type(scope): description format, supporting types like feat, fix, refactor, chore, and docs.

Does this skill prevent commits to the main branch?

Yes, the skill includes a pre-commit safety check that blocks direct commits to main, master, or dev branches, prompting you to create a feature branch instead.

Can it run my project's tests before committing?

Yes, the workflow includes a validation phase that triggers local tools like Ruff, MyPy, and NPM lint/typecheck scripts to ensure code health.

How does it handle AI attribution in git history?

The skill automatically appends a Co-Authored-By: Claude footer to the commit message to maintain transparent and accurate contribution records.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the creation of validated, conventional commit messages while enforcing branch safety and local pre-commit checks.

The orkl commit skill streamlines version control by automating the creation of standardized, conventional commits within Claude Code. It serves as a quality gate by preventing direct commits to protected branches like main or dev, ensuring all changes pass local linting, formatting, and type-checking before being recorded. By enforcing atomic commit patterns and providing co-author attribution for AI-assisted work, it maintains a clean, professional repository history that integrates seamlessly with GitHub issue tracking and CI/CD pipelines.
