SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of writing a clear commit message after you have staged changes, helping you turn a diff into a reviewable Conventional Commits draft without doing the wording manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diff-aware drafting: Uses the current staged Git changes as the source of truth for the message.
  • User-controlled workflow: Presents a draft and lets you accept it, edit it in your preferred editor, or regenerate it.
  • Safety checks: Refuses unsafe branch contexts, enforces Conventional Commits format, and strips pipeline-managed attribution lines.
  • Use Case: After finishing a feature branch, ask for a commit message draft and quickly refine it before creating the commit.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to draft a Conventional Commits message from your staged changes and present it for your review.
