Can I bypass pre-commit hooks with this skill?

Bypassing pre-commit hooks is only permitted for 'Milestone' commits on development branches. 'Delivery' commits must always pass pre-commit checks to ensure code quality.

How does the skill determine the length of the commit message?

The skill evaluates the volume of changes; if changes are under 20 lines, it generates a concise short message; otherwise, it provides a full description including file-level details.

Does the skill automatically link GitHub issues?

Yes, it follows the issue-number-title naming convention to automatically extract and reference the relevant issue number from your current branch name.

Where does the skill find the project-specific tags?

The skill looks for a file located at docs/git-msg-tag.md in your project root to ensure every commit uses tags that match your project's specific taxonomy.

Developer Tools

Automates the generation of structured, semantic Git commit messages based on staged changes and project-specific tagging conventions.

This skill streamlines the version control process by ensuring every Git commit follows a strict, readable format tailored to your project's needs. It intelligently distinguishes between delivery and milestone commits, automatically determines the required detail level based on the volume of changes, and enforces the use of project-specific tags defined in your documentation. By extracting issue numbers from branch names and integrating test results for milestones, it helps maintain a high-quality, searchable repository history while ensuring pre-commit hooks are respected during final deliveries.
