How does it handle special characters in commit messages?

It passes commit messages via a heredoc to avoid shell interpretation of backticks, quotes, and other special characters that often break CLI commands.

Will it update my documentation automatically?

Yes, if your changes introduce new conventions, architecture, or patterns, the skill will suggest updates to AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md as part of the commit process.

Does this skill support Conventional Commits?

Yes, the skill defaults to the Conventional Commits format (feat, fix, etc.) but is flexible enough to match the existing style of your project's history.

Can I commit only my staged changes?

Absolutely. It features a specific 'Staged-Only Mode' that runs git diff --staged and ensures no additional files are added to the commit.

开发者工具

Automates the creation of high-quality, conventional git commits by analyzing code changes and documenting project evolution.

This skill streamlines the developer workflow by intelligently analyzing staged and unstaged changes to generate meaningful commit messages. It follows the Conventional Commits specification, prioritizing the 'why' behind changes over the 'what' to ensure a clean and informative project history. Beyond just committing code, it automatically updates internal agent documentation like AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md when new patterns or architectural decisions are introduced, ensuring your AI development environment stays perfectly in sync with your codebase.
