Does this skill support Git alternatives?

Yes, it provides full support for both Git and Jujutsu (jj) version control systems, detecting the appropriate commands for each environment.

Can I use the output for YAML frontmatter?

Absolutely. The skill is specifically designed to output metadata in a YAML-compatible format ready for use at the top of Markdown documentation.

What specific metadata does it collect?

It collects the current date and time with timezone, the current commit hash, branch or bookmark name, repository name, and a specific timestamp for file naming.

Why is this better than manual metadata entry?

Manual entry is prone to human error and time-consuming. This skill ensures 100% accuracy for commit hashes and timestamps, which is critical for maintaining a reliable audit trail.
