Do I need to stage files before using this skill?

Yes, the skill relies on 'git diff --staged' to see what changes you intend to include in the commit, so you must add your files to the staging area first.

Can it handle large diffs with many file changes?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle high-complexity changes by categorizing modifications into logical sections, making large pull requests easier to review.

How does it determine the right style for my project?

The skill automatically examines your last five commit messages using 'git log' to ensure the generated text matches your project's established tone and formatting.

Does this skill automatically commit my code?

No, it generates the message text based on your staged changes, but you retain full control to review and execute the final git commit and push commands yourself.
