Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiongit-commit-helperExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches git-commit-helper from davila7/claude-code-templates and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate git-commit-helper. Access via /git-commit-helper in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Feature commit:
feat(auth): add JWT authentication
Implement JWT-based authentication system with:
- Login endpoint with token generation
- Token validation middleware
- Refresh token support
Bug fix:
fix(api): handle null values in user profile
Prevent crashes when user profile fields are null.
Add null checks before accessing nested properties.
Refactor:
refactor(database): simplify query builder
Extract common query patterns into reusable functions.
Reduce code duplication in database layer.
Review what's being committed:
# Show files changed
git status
# Show detailed changes
git diff --staged
# Show statistics
git diff --staged --stat
# Show changes for specific file
git diff --staged path/to/file
DO:
DON'T:
When committing multiple related changes:
refactor(core): restructure authentication module
- Move auth logic from controllers to service layer
- Extract validation into separate validators
- Update tests to use new structure
- Add integration tests for auth flow
Breaking change: Auth service now requires config object
Frontend:
feat(ui): add loading spinner to dashboardfix(form): validate email formatBackend:
feat(api): add user profile endpointfix(db): resolve connection pool leakInfrastructure:
chore(ci): update Node version to 20feat(docker): add multi-stage buildIndicate breaking changes clearly:
feat(api)!: restructure API response format
BREAKING CHANGE: All API responses now follow JSON:API spec
Previous format:
{ "data": {...}, "status": "ok" }
New format:
{ "data": {...}, "meta": {...} }
Migration guide: Update client code to handle new response structure
git diff --stagedUse git add -p for selective staging:
# Stage changes interactively
git add -p
# Review what's staged
git diff --staged
# Commit with message
git commit -m "type(scope): description"
Fix the last commit message:
# Amend commit message only
git commit --amend
# Amend and add more changes
git add forgotten-file.js
git commit --amend --no-edit

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

git-commit-helper has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
git-commit-helper fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
I recommend git-commit-helper for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Useful defaults in git-commit-helper — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
