Does this skill help prevent committing sensitive data?

Yes, it includes a safety check that uses pattern matching to scan staged changes for API keys, tokens, and private credentials before any commit is made.

What commit message format does this skill use?

It follows the Conventional Commits standard (type(scope): subject) and adds detailed body sections for Impact, What, Why, How, Risk, and Testing.

Why does it use the git -F flag?

It writes the message to a temporary file first to avoid shell-quoting issues, ensuring that special characters like backticks are preserved correctly in the commit history.

Does it automatically run my tests?

It provides the specific commands needed to run the repository's test suite and prompts for a summary of the results to be included in the commit documentation.

Can it handle breaking changes?

Yes, it supports the exclamation mark syntax (e.g., feat!:) and requires calling out breaking changes in the Impact and Risk sections.
