How are commit messages generated?

The skill analyzes your staged diff and writes a message following the Conventional Commits standard (e.g., feat, fix, chore) based on the files changed.

Can I use it on the main branch?

No, the skill includes a security guardrail that prevents shipping directly from the main or master branch to ensure best practices for feature-branch workflows.

Does it support both GitHub and GitLab?

Yes, it supports GitHub using the gh CLI and GitLab using the glab CLI, automatically detecting the platform from your remote URL.

What happens if a pre-commit hook fails?

If a pre-commit hook fails, the skill stops immediately and displays the error output, allowing you to fix the issues manually before re-attempting the ship command.
