Are the commit types customizable?

While the skill defines a mandatory set of types like 'feature' and 'bugfix' for consistency, it can also ingest specific 'MUST' rules from a PROJECT.md file to align with your team's unique standards.

How does this skill improve project history?

It ensures every commit is descriptive, conceptually focused, and properly categorized, making the git log easily searchable and understandable for humans and AI alike.

Does it handle squashed commits?

Yes, it provides specific logic to synthesize multiple interim commit messages into a single, unified, and meaningful summary that maintains the project's standards.

What is the purpose of the Task ID footer?

The Task ID footer is a mandatory requirement for CAT projects that allows developers to find all commits related to a specific task using a simple grep command, without needing to track individual hashes.

Enforces clear, descriptive, and standardized Git commit messages to improve project traceability and historical clarity.

The Git Commit Message Skill provides a robust framework for generating professional-grade commit messages that emphasize the conceptual 'what' and 'why' behind code changes. By enforcing imperative mood, strict character limits, and specific commit types, this skill ensures that project histories remain searchable and readable. It is specifically optimized for CAT (Claude Agent Toolkit) environments, incorporating mandatory Task ID tracking to link commits directly to project milestones and supporting local overrides via PROJECT.md configurations.
