Git

What it does

This skill automates Git repository tasks, enabling an AI agent to perform actions like branching, merging, and pushing changes. It enforces a specific commit message format based on Conventional Commits, ensuring consistency and clarity in version control history. The skill also provides guidance for structuring commit messages with sections for summary, background, changes, technical details, verification, and related URLs.

When to use it

• When you need the AI agent to create Git commits following a standardized format.
• For automating routine Git operations within a repository.
• To ensure consistent documentation of code changes and their context.
• When integrating with GitHub-specific workflows (referencing skills/github).
