Which commit types does this skill support?

The skill supports the full standard set: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, and revert. It automatically selects the most appropriate type based on the content of your staged diff.

Does it analyze unstaged changes or only staged ones?

The skill primarily analyzes staged changes (`git diff --cached`). If no changes are staged, it will check your working directory and prompt you to stage files before generating the message.

Can it identify breaking changes automatically?

Yes. It detects breaking changes by identifying removed public APIs, altered function signatures, or renamed exports, and will automatically include the 'BREAKING CHANGE:' footer in the draft.

What happens if I have too many different changes staged at once?

Absolutely. If the skill detects multiple unrelated logical changes in a single diff, it will recommend splitting the work into smaller, more focused commits to maintain a clean project history.

Does the output follow a specific industry standard?

The skill follows the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 specification, including an imperative subject line, optional scope, body for context, and footer for breaking changes or issue references.
