Selects and applies gitmoji emoji prefixes for Git commit messages, integrated with Conventional Commits format. Use when the user asks about gitmoji, wants an emoji for a commit message, asks 'which emoji for...', 'quel emoji pour...', mentions commit emoji conventions, says 'prefix my commit', 'gitmoji for', 'emoji commit', or wants to decorate commit messages with standardized emoji. DO NOT USE when: the user wants plain Conventional Commits with no emoji; general Git help → use git-hero-git-guru.

Conventional Commits Integration
Gitmoji prefixes the Conventional Commits format — the CC structure stays intact:
<emoji> <type>(<scope>): <description>

Use the default when no more specific gitmoji applies. Override with a more precise emoji when the context warrants it (see below).

Common Confusions
:art: vs :recycle: — :art: is cosmetic (formatting, structure). :recycle: is behavioral (logic refactoring).
:fire: vs :coffin: — :fire: removes any code/files. :coffin: specifically targets dead/unreachable code.
:wrench: vs :hammer: — :wrench: is config files (tsconfig, eslint). :hammer: is dev scripts (Makefile, build scripts).
:white_check_mark: vs :test_tube: — :white_check_mark: for passing tests. :test_tube: for intentionally failing tests (TDD red phase).
:sparkles: vs :heavy_plus_sign: — :sparkles: adds a feature. :heavy_plus_sign: adds a dependency.
PASS. The load-bearing lift is the override / Common-Confusions tables. On gitmoji-002 every baseline picked generic 🔥 :fire: for dead-code removal (should be ⚰️ :coffin:) and haiku also missed ➕ for a new dependency; the skill fixes both — haiku 67→100 (+33). gitmoji-001 (security override + no-emoji opt-out) was at ceiling (all models 100% with and without — no regression; the opt-out is honoured unaided), so value lives in the subtle picks. Gate per skill-optimizer/release-gates.md.
