# Git Commit Helper

## Overview

Commits are **communication with future maintainers** — including yourself in six months. A good
commit answers three questions at a glance: what changed, why it changed, and what to know before
touching it. This skill covers the craft: atomic changesets, conventional message format, bodies
that explain reasoning, and history hygiene (rebasing, squashing, fixups) that keeps `git log`
readable instead of archaeological.

Well-kept history turns `git blame` from a blame tool into a documentation tool.
