What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps craft clear, conventional Git commit messages and pull request descriptions. It enforces a structured subject/body format, imperative mood, and line-length constraints, ensuring messages are readable and maintainable across the project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Format guidance: Subject must use an allowed kind (feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore) and be in the imperative mood.
  • Body guidance: The body follows semantic line breaks and describes the changes without duplicating the diff.
  • Co-Authored-By: If the bot contributed, it can append a Co-Authored-By trailer.
  • Pull request descriptions: Provides guidance to craft concise PR descriptions from the context.

Quick Start

Before a commit, load Skill(writing-commit-messages) to draft the message, then ask Skill(committing) to perform the commit with that message. Example: subject: "feat: add user login validation" and a concise body.
