Does this skill support the Conventional Commits standard?

Yes, it strictly follows the Conventional Commits specification, using types like feat, fix, refactor, and chore to categorize every change.

How does it handle multiple changes in one session?

The skill analyzes the full diff and suggests splitting the work into multiple commits if it detects unrelated features, fixes, or refactors.

Can I use this with existing git guidelines?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to reference project-specific git standards and conventional commit guidelines within your repository.

What are atomic commits and why are they used?

Atomic commits are small, focused changes that address a single logical task. This skill uses them to make your git history easier to review, revert, and debug.

Does this skill run my project's tests?

This skill relies on quality gates (like PostToolUse or SubagentStop hooks) to automatically enforce tests and linters before the commit process begins.
