Why does the skill reject 'Generated by AI' messages?

To maintain professional project integrity and clear accountability, the skill ensures commit messages reflect intent and ownership rather than the tool used to create them.

Can I use this for specific files only?

Yes, while the default is to stage all changes, you can provide specific instructions like 'only commit the src folder' or 'ignore the docs'.

How does it decide if a commit body is required?

It uses a decision matrix based on the size and type of the change; trivial fixes might only need a subject, but features and bug fixes require a detailed body explaining 'why' and 'how'.

What commit format does this skill use?

It enforces the Conventional Commits specification, using types like feat, fix, docs, and refactor, followed by an imperative mood description.

Does this skill automatically push my code?

No, this skill specifically handles the staging and local commit process. You must request a push separately after the commit is successfully created.

Standardizes and automates your Git commit workflow by enforcing conventional commit formats and high-quality message standards.

About

Git Commit Validator is a specialized skill for Claude Code that streamlines the version control process by automatically handling staging, message generation, and validation. It ensures every commit follows the Conventional Commits specification, maintains proper line lengths (50/72 rule), and generates meaningful descriptions based on analyzed diffs. By strictly preventing AI-generated signatures and enforcing a decision matrix for commit bodies, it helps developers maintain a professional, readable, and human-centric project history without the manual overhead of formatting.
