What this skill does
Commit Skill Workflow 1. Analyze Results: Review git status and git diff --staged. 2. Draft Message: Follow Conventional Commits. feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore. Max 50 chars for subject. Explain "why" in body if needed (wrap at 72). 3. Atomic Commits: Ensure one logical change per commit. 4. Templates: Use assets/commit-template.txt for consistency. Safe Git Commands git add <files> git commit -m "message" git diff --staged git status, git show, git log --oneline Limitations No interactive commands (git add -p, git rebase -i). No force pushing or amending without explicit user guidance. Always confirm before final commit/push.
