Does this skill automatically commit my changes to git?

No, the skill is designed to only provide a suggested message. It allows you to review, modify, or request an alternative before you decide to finalize the commit yourself.

What information does the skill use to write the message?

It analyzes your staged changes (git diff --staged), your current repository status, and the most recent commit history to ensure the message is accurate and matches your project's style.

Can I use this for Conventional Commits?

Yes, the skill analyzes existing commit patterns in your repository and will attempt to follow established conventions like 'feat:', 'fix:', or 'chore:' if it detects them in your history.

What happens if I haven't staged any files yet?

The skill specifically analyzes staged changes. If no files are staged, it will prompt you to run 'git add' on the files you wish to include before it can generate an accurate message.
