Writing Commit Messages

Category: Dev Tools  ·  Sub-category: git-workflow  ·  Last updated:
Use when drafting any commit message — sets format (imperative subject under 72 chars, explanatory body when the why isn't obvious from the diff) and prevents the "Fix X" one-liner reflex for non-trivial fixes

What this skill does

Writing Commit Messages is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the git-workflow sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/writing-commit-messages/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Writing Commit Messages Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
