How does the skill know what I changed?

The skill uses integrated git tools like 'git status' and 'git diff --staged' to analyze your specific code changes before drafting the commit message.

Does this skill follow the Conventional Commits specification?

Yes, it uses standard types like feat, fix, and chore by default, but it can also adapt to your repository's unique style by reading previous git logs.

Can I edit the suggested message before committing?

Absolutely. The skill presents the message in a code block for you to review, edit, or approve before any changes are finalized in your repository.

Can it handle breaking changes?

Yes, it can identify significant architectural changes and automatically include the 'BREAKING CHANGE' footer as required by industry standards.
