Does this skill support breaking changes?

Yes, it supports marking breaking changes using the '!' suffix after the type or by adding a BREAKING CHANGE footer to the message body.

How does it handle AI-generated attribution?

The skill automatically appends a footer to every commit indicating it was generated with Claude Code, including proper Co-Authored-By metadata.

What is a Conventional Commit?

It is a standardized convention for commit messages that uses specific prefixes like feat, fix, and chore to provide explicit meaning to the commit history.

What are the benefits of atomic commits?

Atomic commits focus on a single logical change, making the history easier to understand, simplifying code reviews, and allowing for cleaner reverts if a bug is introduced.

Does it work with automated release tools?

Yes, because it follows the Conventional Commits spec, it is fully compatible with tools like Semantic Release and Standard Version for automated versioning.
