What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a safe and controlled method for rewriting historical git commit messages, helping to normalize noisy or auto-generated messages and maintain a clean project history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bulk Message Rewriting: Rename or normalize multiple commit messages across a specified range.
  • Controlled History Modification: Safely rewrite messages using git filter-repo with explicit mappings.
  • Use Case: You have a series of commits with repetitive "Merge branch 'feature/xyz'" messages. This skill can transform them into more descriptive messages like "Merge feature branch XYZ for user authentication".

Quick Start

Use the rewrite-commit-messages skill to change the commit message from 'old: fix typo' to 'new: Correct spelling error'.
