Does this work with private repositories?

Yes, as long as you have local Git access to the repository, the skill can extract the necessary metadata from your local environment.

Is a script required to use this skill?

While a bash script is provided for automation, the skill also includes manual commands to gather data directly via the terminal.

What metadata does this skill actually collect?

It gathers the current ISO timestamp, Git commit hash, current branch name, repository name, project name, and feature slugs.

How does it help with version control traceability?

By inserting the exact Git commit hash into your project plans, you create a permanent link between your documentation and the state of the code at that time.
