Does this skill support Conventional Commits?

Yes, it utilizes standard prefixes such as feat, fix, docs, refactor, perf, and chore to categorize changes, making it compatible with automated release tools.

Why does this skill use the imperative mood?

The imperative mood (e.g., 'Add feature' instead of 'Added feature') is the industry standard for Git, as it matches the language used by Git's own generated messages like 'Merge branch'.

How does this skill improve code reviews?

By clearly articulating the intent and side effects of a change in the commit body, it allows reviewers to understand the context of the code without needing separate documentation.

What is the Git Storytelling commit structure?

It follows a standardized three-part structure: a concise Subject line (under 50 characters), a detailed Body explaining the 'why' and 'how', and a Footer for metadata like issue references.
