Included Skills4

commit-conventionsskills/commit-conventions/SKILL.md

Install Conventional Commits enforcement (a commit-msg hook) and a no-direct-push-to-main guard (a pre-push hook), plus generate AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md rule files covering working-agreement defaults (register, answer scope, disagreement, language, JOURNAL.md work log) plus commit format, semver-bump discipline, changelog-first workflow, and branch protection policy — merging into existing files instead of replacing them. Use when the user wants commit conventions enforced or wants Claude/agents to follow a documented rule set in this repo.

inspectskills/inspect/SKILL.md

Audit an existing repo against whiting's conventions (Keep a Changelog, Conventional Commits, semver tags, GitHub Release automation, AGENTS.md/ CLAUDE.md/JOURNAL.md) and produce a compliance report plus a remediation plan. Use when the user wants to know what's missing or non-conforming before running repo-init, commit-conventions, or semver-release on a repo that wasn't bootstrapped by whiting from scratch. Read-only — makes no changes.

repo-initskills/repo-init/SKILL.md

Bootstrap a repo's baseline — git init if needed, LICENSE, README.md skeleton, a Keep a Changelog-formatted CHANGELOG.md, and the agent rule files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md importing it, JOURNAL.md) — whether starting from an empty directory or filling gaps in an existing repo. Use when the user wants to start a new project properly or is missing one of these files. Never overwrites an existing file without asking.

semver-releaseskills/semver-release/SKILL.md

Wire a repo's CHANGELOG.md up to its GitHub Releases, and suggest the next semver bump from Conventional Commits since the last tag. Use when the user wants to populate an empty GitHub Releases tab, backfill releases for existing tags, automate publishing a Release on every version tag push, or figure out what the next version number should be. Applies to any repo following Keep a Changelog conventions and tagging releases with a "v*.*.*" scheme.
