Does it support breaking changes?

Yes, the skill follows conventional commit standards and allows for breaking changes to be flagged with a '!' after the scope.

Can I override the auto-detected commit type and scope?

Yes, you can provide arguments like '/commit-smart fix' or '/commit-smart refactor api' to manually set the type and scope while letting Claude write the description.

What happens if I have changes that aren't staged yet?

The skill will analyze your working tree, suggest logical groupings of files, and ask for your permission to stage them before generating the commit message.

How does this skill determine the commit type?

It analyzes the diff for specific signals: new files trigger 'feat', test additions trigger 'test', logic changes trigger 'fix', and configuration updates trigger 'chore' or 'build'.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of semantic conventional commits by analyzing codebase changes and providing context-aware reasoning.

This skill streamlines the Git workflow within Claude Code by intelligently analyzing staged and unstaged changes to generate high-quality, professional commit messages. It automatically detects appropriate conventional commit types—such as feat, fix, or refactor—and scopes based on modified file paths. By focusing on capturing the 'why' behind a change rather than just the 'what', it ensures your repository history remains readable and informative. It also facilitates a guided staging process, helping you group related changes logically before committing.
