Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned maslennikov-ig/claude-code-orchestrator-kit at 8c3b576cc6.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
This skill automatically formats commit messages according to conventional commits standards. It ensures that commit messages adhere to a specific structure, including a type (e.g., feat, fix, docs), a scope (optional), and a description. This helps maintain consistency and improves the readability of project history.
When to use it
- When you need to enforce consistent commit message formatting within a development team.
- To automate the process of creating well-structured commit messages, reducing manual effort.
- For projects that rely on automated tooling (e.g., release notes generation) that depends on correctly formatted commit messages.
- During code reviews to ensure all commits follow established conventions.
Key capabilities
- Conventional Commits formatting
- Automated message structuring
- Type, scope, and description parsing
Example prompts
- "Format this commit message: 'Fixes a bug in the login page.'"
- "Generate a conventional commit message for adding a new feature to the user profile."
- "Ensure this commit follows the conventional commits standard: 'Updates documentation'"
Tips & gotchas
- The skill relies on understanding of Conventional Commits specification. Familiarize yourself with the types and scopes allowed.
