Can it handle breaking changes?

Absolutely. It follows the specification for breaking changes by adding the '!' indicator after the type/scope and including a 'BREAKING CHANGE' footer in the message body.

How does the Git Commit Helper analyze my code changes?

The skill uses the 'git diff --staged' command to inspect your currently prepared changes, allowing Claude to understand the context and purpose of your modifications before suggesting a message.

Does it help with commit message length limits?

Yes, the skill follows the standard guideline of keeping the summary line under 50 characters and ensures the body is formatted for maximum readability.

Does this skill support the Conventional Commits specification?

Yes, it is strictly aligned with Conventional Commits, using standard types like feat, fix, chore, and refactor to ensure your history is compatible with automated tooling.
