What it does¶
The skill has an agent review the staged diff, pick a type and scope, and write a message in the Conventional Commits format. It includes guidance and examples by change type and size, a script that analyzes staged changes and suggests a message, and notes on wiring the convention into VS Code and commitlint.
Where it applies¶
Use it in any repository whose history follows Conventional Commits, in any client that loads skills.
