Does it support breaking changes?

Yes, it follows the standard by adding a '!' after the type and providing a detailed BREAKING CHANGE footer to alert your team of significant API or architectural changes.

What is the Conventional Commits skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to analyze your staged git changes and write standardized commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification.

Why should I use semantic commit messages?

Semantic commits make project history easier to read, simplify code reviews, and allow for the automated generation of changelogs and version bumps.

Does it respect git best practices?

Absolutely. It enforces a 72-character limit for the subject line, uses the imperative mood (e.g., 'add' instead of 'added'), and separates the body from the header with a blank line.

How do I trigger the commit message generation?

The skill activates automatically when you ask Claude to commit changes, write a commit message, or use the /commit command within the Claude Code environment.
