Can I include co-author information with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill includes templates for Co-Authored-By footers and standard Claude Code attribution to maintain proper project history.

Why should I avoid HEREDOC syntax in Claude Code?

HEREDOC syntax often leads to shell interpretation issues and complex quote handling errors within the specific execution context of Claude Code's Bash tool.

Is this pattern compatible with standard Git?

Yes, using -m with quoted multiline strings is standard Git behavior and is more portable than complex shell redirection.

Does this skill support Conventional Commits?

Yes, it provides patterns and examples for the Conventional Commits specification, including types, scopes, and body descriptions.

How does this skill handle multiline commit messages?

It uses a single -m flag with the entire message enclosed in double quotes, allowing newlines to be preserved naturally and reliably across all environments.

开发者工具

Standardizes Git commit messages by using multiline strings instead of HEREDOC to ensure reliable shell execution.

This skill optimizes how Claude interacts with the Git CLI by enforcing a specific formatting pattern for commit messages within the Claude Code terminal. It teaches the AI to avoid problematic HEREDOC syntax, which often fails in restricted or varying shell environments, in favor of robust multiline string arguments using the -m flag. This approach ensures that complex commits—including those with detailed body explanations, Conventional Commit headers, and Co-Authored-By footers—are processed correctly and consistently every time.
