Why does the skill use HEREDOC for git commits?

Using a HEREDOC ensures that multi-line commit messages are formatted correctly within the terminal, preserving blank lines and avoiding common shell escaping issues.

What are the 7 rules this skill enforces?

The skill enforces separating subjects from bodies, a 50-character limit for subjects, capitalization, no trailing periods, imperative mood, 72-character body wrapping, and focusing on the 'why' versus 'how'.

Does this skill work with any git repository?

Yes, it is designed to be a universal standard applicable to any software project that uses Git for version control.

Can I customize the commit message rules?

While this skill follows the standard 7 rules of git, it can be adapted within the Claude Code environment to suit specific project style guides.

Standardizes git commit messages by applying industry-best practices for clarity, conciseness, and professional version control history.

关于

The Git Commit Standards skill ensures your repository maintains a high-quality, readable history by strictly enforcing the seven rules of great commit messages. It guides Claude to write imperative, concise subject lines under 50 characters and detailed body paragraphs that explain the purpose behind changes rather than just the implementation. By automating the formatting into HEREDOC blocks and stripping out unnecessary references to code reviews or internal feedback, this skill helps teams maintain an audit-ready codebase that is easy for humans to navigate and understand.
