Generate and validate conventional commits and semver release bumps with Commitizen
Standardize commit messages, validate commit history, and calculate semver-aware release bumps without hand-rolled repo rules.
npx skills add agentskillexchange/skills --skill generate-and-validate-conventional-commits-and-semver-release-bumps-with-commitizen
Use Commitizen when an agent needs to create or validate Conventional Commit messages, check a repository’s commit history against an agreed convention, and drive semver-aware version bumps from those commits. It fits release prep, changelog generation, and repo-hygiene workflows where commit semantics need to stay consistent across many edits.
What this skill actually does
A user should invoke this instead of using Git or a release tool normally when the task is commit convention enforcement and release bump orchestration, not everyday branching or publishing itself. The scope boundary is narrow and skill-shaped: Commitizen governs commit structure, changelog-friendly history checks, and calculated version bumps, not generic Git hosting, CI, or package registry management.
