2 things to look at
- 13 days oldThe repository was created 13 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 1 stars1 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
Use when you have staged changes and need a clear, conventional-commits style message that explains the why, not just the what.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Commit Message
When to use
Invoke this skill after git add and before git commit to draft a high-quality message.
Steps
- Read the staged diff (
git diff --cached) and any linked issue. - Pick a type: feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci.
- Write a subject under 72 chars:
<type>(<scope>): <imperative summary>. - Add a body only when the why is non-obvious: what changed and why.
- Reference the issue id when one exists.
Examples
- "Write a commit message for my staged changes"
- "Summarize this diff as a conventional commit"
References
Use the imperative mood ("add" not "added"); never include noise like "update code" or file lists the diff already shows.
