What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
contextual-commit
Write contextual commits that capture intent, decisions, and constraints alongside code changes. Use when committing code, finishing a task, or when the user asks to commit. Extends Conventional Commits with structured action lines in the commit body that preserve WHY code was written, not just WHAT changed.

recall
