How does it handle technical implementation details?

The skill follows the Tenzir philosophy of focusing on user capabilities in the subject line, while leaving the 'what' and 'why' for the optional body section.

Does it support the imperative mood?

Absolutely. It ensures all subject lines use the imperative mood (e.g., 'Add feature' instead of 'Added feature') to match standard Git best practices.

What is the primary format used by this skill?

It uses a subject-body format where the subject is under 50 characters and the body is separated by a blank line and wrapped at 72 characters.

Is this skill limited to Tenzir repositories?

While it is specifically optimized for Tenzir's internal standards, the high-quality commit practices it enforces are beneficial for any professional software project.

Can it help with linking GitHub issues?

Yes, it is programmed to include standardized issue references such as 'Resolves: #123' or 'See also: #456' at the end of the commit body.
