One thing to look at

0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Write high-quality Git commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification. Use this skill whenever the user commits code, provides a git diff, describes code changes, or asks for help writing a commit message. Triggers include: commit, commit files, commit staged files, commit all, commit changes, commit this, write a commit, commit message, git commit, git add and commit, stage and commit, how do I commit this, what should my commit say, or when the user pastes a diff or describes what they changed. Always use this skill proactively when the user is about to commit — even if they only describe what changed or simply say "commit" without explicitly asking for a message.

Commit Message Skill

Write commit messages following Conventional Commits v1.0.0. Always capture What changed and Why — not just a summary of the diff.

Format

<type>[optional scope]: <subject>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

type (required):

Type	Description
`feat`	New feature
`fix`	Bug fix
`docs`	Documentation only
`style`	Formatting, no logic change
`refactor`	Restructure, not a feat or fix
`perf`	Performance improvement
`test`	Adding or updating tests
`chore`	Build process or tooling
`revert`	Reverting a previous commit
`ci`	CI/CD pipeline changes
`build`	Build system changes

scope (optional) — area affected, e.g. auth, api, db, or package name in a monorepo.

subject (required) — max 50 chars, imperative mood (add not added), no trailing period.

body (optional) — blank line after subject, wrap at 72 chars. Explain why, not just what.

footer (optional) — issue refs (Closes #123), or breaking changes:

BREAKING CHANGE: <description> in footer, or
append ! to type/scope: feat!: / feat(api)!:

Output Rules

Draft the commit message.
Strip AI signatures — pipe the draft through strip-ai-signature.sh before presenting it:
```
echo "$MSG" | ./skills/commit-message/strip-ai-signature.sh
```
This removes Co-Authored-By: lines for Claude, Copilot, GPT, Gemini, and Anthropic.
Output the cleaned message in a code block.
If context is insufficient, produce a best-guess then ask for adjustments.
If changes cover unrelated concerns, flag it and suggest splitting into separate commits.

Examples

fix(auth): redirect to login when session token expires

Previously crashed with an unhandled promise rejection. Now
gracefully redirects and clears the stale session data.

Closes #234

feat(api): add pagination to GET /users endpoint

Refs #189

feat(db)!: replace Prisma with Drizzle ORM

BREAKING CHANGE: All database query APIs have changed.
See docs/migration-drizzle.md for the migration guide.
