Will this skill add AI attribution to my commits?

No. This skill specifically avoids adding any AI attribution, co-authored-by tags, or mentions of AI in the commit messages to ensure your git identity remains the sole author.

Is the scope required in the commit message?

Yes, to maintain compatibility with automation tools, this skill requires a lowercase, kebab-case module name as a scope for every commit.

Can I use this to create GitHub releases?

Absolutely. By using the --release and --tag flags, the skill will handle versioning, tagging, pushing, and creating the release on GitHub using the gh CLI.

Does this skill support GPG signing?

Yes, the skill automatically uses the git commit -S flag to ensure all commits and tags are cryptographically signed for security and verification.

How does the secret scanning feature protect my repo?

Before staging any files, the skill scans your working tree for patterns including .env files, PEM keys, and common API tokens, stopping the process and warning you if sensitive data is found.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of signed, conventional commit messages, version tagging, and GitHub releases while enforcing security through secret scanning.

This skill streamlines the Git development workflow by enforcing the Conventional Commits specification and automating repetitive repository management tasks. It performs proactive security checks by scanning for secrets and credentials before staging files, ensuring that sensitive information is never leaked to your version history. Beyond simple commits, it handles atomic changes, GPG signing, semantic version tagging, and integrated GitHub release creation, making it an essential tool for maintaining professional, machine-readable repository histories and automated release pipelines.
