// Generate conventional commit messages automatically. Use when user runs git commit, stages changes, or asks for commit message help. Analyzes git diff to create clear, descriptive conventional commit messages. Triggers on git commit, staged changes, commit message requests.
Automatic code quality and best practices analysis. Use proactively when files are modified, saved, or committed. Analyzes code style, patterns, potential bugs, and security basics. Triggers on file changes, git diff, code edits, quality mentions.
Automatically suggest tests for new functions and components. Use when new code is written, functions added, or user mentions testing. Creates test scaffolding with Jest, Vitest, Pytest patterns. Triggers on new functions, components, test requests, testing mentions.
Auto-generate API documentation from code and comments. Use when API endpoints change, or user mentions API docs. Creates OpenAPI/Swagger specs from code. Triggers on API file changes, documentation requests, endpoint additions.
Keep README files current with project changes. Use when project structure changes, features added, or setup instructions modified. Suggests README updates based on code changes. Triggers on significant project changes, new features, dependency changes.
Check dependencies for known vulnerabilities using npm audit, pip-audit, etc. Use when package.json or requirements.txt changes, or before deployments. Alerts on vulnerable dependencies. Triggers on dependency file changes, deployment prep, security mentions.
Detect exposed secrets, API keys, credentials, and tokens in code. Use before commits, on file saves, or when security is mentioned. Prevents accidental secret exposure. Triggers on file changes, git commits, security checks, .env file modifications.

git add auth.service.ts login.component.tsx
# I analyze diff and suggest:
feat(auth): add JWT-based user authentication
- Implement login/logout functionality
- Add token management service
- Include auth guards for protected routes
- Add unit tests for auth service
Closes #42
# You staged:
git add UserList.tsx
# I suggest:
fix(components): resolve memory leak in UserList
Fixed subscription not being cleaned up in useEffect,
causing memory leak when component unmounts.
Closes #156
# You staged:
git add api/users.ts
# I suggest:
feat(api): update user API response format
Changed response structure to include metadata
for better pagination and filtering support.
BREAKING CHANGE: User API now returns { data, metadata }
instead of direct array. Update client code accordingly.
# You staged:
git add README.md docs/api.md
# I suggest:
docs: update API documentation with authentication examples
- Add authentication flow diagrams
- Include cURL examples for protected endpoints
- Document error responses

add user authenticationfix memory leak in componentupdate API documentation❌ Bad:
added user authentication (past tense)fixes bug (too vague)Update API docs. (period at end)# Multiple files in auth feature
feat(auth): implement complete authentication system
- Add JWT token generation and validation
- Implement password hashing with bcrypt
- Create login/logout API endpoints
- Add auth middleware for protected routes
- Include refresh token functionality
Closes #42, #43, #44
# Code restructuring
refactor(api): extract database logic into repository pattern
Moved database queries from controllers to repository classes
for better separation of concerns and testability.
No functional changes or API modifications.
# Optimization
perf(queries): optimize user data fetching
- Implement query batching to eliminate N+1 queries
- Add database indices on frequently queried columns
- Cache user profile data with 5-minute TTL
Performance improvement: 80ms → 12ms average response time
I work great with pre-commit hooks:
#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
# If no commit message provided, trigger skill
if [ -z "$2" ]; then
# Skill suggests message based on staged changes
echo "# Suggested commit message (edit as needed)" > "$1"
fi
# Poor initial message
git commit -m "fix stuff"
# Amend with better message
# I suggest improved message based on changes
git commit --amend
