About

The authoring-commits skill provides Claude with the specific rules and implementation patterns required to generate high-quality git commit messages following the Conventional Commits v1.0.0 standard. It ensures all commits include appropriate types like feat, fix, or refactor, while enforcing structural constraints such as the imperative mood, character limits, and proper body wrapping. This skill is particularly useful for development teams that rely on automated changelog generation, semantic versioning (SemVer), and clean, human-readable repository histories.
