Git Commit
Automates conventional commit messages for Java projects by analyzing your staged changes and formatting them with the right type, scope, and description. Just say "commit" or "commit changes" and it reads your git diff, figures out whether you're adding a feature or fixing a bug, picks an appropriate scope like your module name or component, and writes the message in conventional commits format. The skill includes Java-specific examples for everything from plugin loader fixes to Spring Boot upgrades. Honestly most useful when you've made clean, logical changes and just want to skip the mental overhead of formatting the message correctly. Works best if your changes are already focused, since it won't magically untangle a messy diff.
