Can I link GitHub issues using this skill?

Yes, it is designed to mention relevant issue numbers in the commit body (e.g., 'Closes #34') to maintain traceability.

How does it handle large commits versus small fixes?

It uses a short one-line format for changes under 20 lines and a detailed format with per-file breakdowns and context for larger changes.
