README (SKILL.md)
Git Commit Message Guide
Format
Every commit message MUST follow this structure:
\x3Ctype>(\x3Cscope>): \x3Csubject>
[optional body]
[optional footer]
Type (required)
| Type | When to use |
|---|---|
| feat | New feature or capability |
| fix | Bug fix |
| docs | Documentation only |
| refactor | Code change that neither fixes nor adds |
| test | Adding or updating tests |
| chore | Build, CI, tooling changes |
Scope (required)
Scope MUST be a real module name from this project. See references/modules.md for the full list.
If unsure of the scope, check the file paths being changed — the top-level directory is usually the correct scope.
Subject (required)
- Imperative mood: "add feature" not "added feature"
- No period at the end
- Max 72 characters total (including type and scope prefix)
- Lowercase first letter
Body (optional)
- Explain WHY, not WHAT (the diff shows what changed)
- Wrap at 72 characters
- Separate from subject with blank line
Breaking Changes
If the commit introduces a breaking change, add footer:
BREAKING CHANGE: \x3Cdescription of what breaks and migration path>
Examples
Good:
feat(auth): add JWT token refresh endpoint
Tokens now auto-refresh 5 minutes before expiry.
Previously users had to re-login after token expiration.
fix(parser): handle empty input without crashing
refactor(db): extract connection pooling to separate module
BREAKING CHANGE: DatabaseClient constructor no longer accepts
pool config. Use PoolConfig.create() instead.
Bad:
updated some stuff ← no type, no scope, vague
feat: Add new Feature. ← capitalized, period, missing scope
fix(misc): various fixes ← "misc" is not a real module
Usage Guidance
This skill is an instruction-only commit-message formatter and appears coherent with its purpose. If you install it, ensure your agent already has appropriate repository access (read context/diffs) because the guide suggests checking changed file paths to choose scope. No secrets or external downloads are required. Review SKILL.md and references/modules.md if you want to confirm the enforced conventions before enabling the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: git-cmt-helper
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a documentation-only helper for generating standardized git commit messages following the Conventional Commits format. It contains no executable code, shell commands, or network requests, and its instructions in SKILL.md and references/modules.md are strictly limited to text formatting and project-specific naming conventions without any signs of prompt injection or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (generate Conventional Commits) match the SKILL.md content and the included modules list. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is narrowly focused on commit message structure, scope selection, examples, and rules. It references a local modules.md for valid scopes and suggests checking file paths being changed, which is reasonable for choosing a scope; it does not instruct the agent to exfiltrate data or call external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skills are the lowest disk-execution risk. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The constraints (valid scopes) are provided in the included references/modules.md file.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (platform default). The skill does not request persistent presence or modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install git-cmt-helper - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/git-cmt-helper - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
