Is it safe to use with repositories containing secrets?

Yes, the skill follows a safety protocol that explicitly prevents staging or committing sensitive files like .env, credentials.json, or private keys.

How does the skill handle breaking changes?

The skill identifies breaking changes in your code and automatically adds the '!' modifier after the type/scope or includes the 'BREAKING CHANGE' footer as required.

Can I override the generated commit message?

Absolutely. The skill supports interactive commits where you can provide optional overrides for the type, scope, or description before finalizing.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of standardized, semantic git commits by analyzing code changes and generating conventional commit messages.

This skill streamlines the version control workflow by automatically analyzing staged or unstaged changes to generate precise, Conventional Commit-compliant messages. It intelligently detects commit types like features, fixes, or refactors, suggests appropriate scopes, and handles file staging—all while adhering to a strict safety protocol that prevents accidental credential leaks or destructive git operations. Perfect for maintaining a clean, machine-readable project history without the manual overhead of drafting messages.
