Can I use this for non-standard commit types?

While it defaults to common types like feat and fix, the skill is flexible and can adapt to the specific naming conventions used in your repository.

What is the Conventional Commits format?

Conventional Commits is a lightweight convention for commit messages that provides a set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, making it easier to automate tools like changelog generators.

How does the skill know what I changed?

The skill runs 'git status' and 'git diff' to analyze your staged and unstaged changes, providing Claude with the necessary context to write an accurate summary.

Does this skill automatically execute the commit?

It generates the properly formatted git commit command which can then be reviewed and executed within the Claude Code environment.
