At a glance

Ship workflow: review changes, generate conventional commit messages, push, and create PRs.

  • Works in 3 steps: Review Changes → Push (Optional) → Create PR (Optional)
  • Review my changes
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Process, Phase 1: Review Changes and Format (Conventional Commits), plus 9 more sections
  • Calls git and gh; reaches claude.com

What it does

Commit Message is an agent skill from Aedelon/claude-code-blueprint. Ship workflow: review changes, generate conventional commit messages, push, and create PRs. MUST BE USED when user says: "commit", "git commit", "commit this", "save changes", "commit message", "ship", "ship it", "push", "create PR", "pull request", "ready to merge", "deploy this", "stage changes", "what changed", "review my changes", "conventional commit", or after completing a coding task. Reviews changes, generates commit, optionally pushes and creates PR. NOT for git branching/rebasing (use git-workflow)…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages, Pull requests and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Production-grade Claude Code configuration: skills, agents, hooks, rules, and permissions working as a system.

When your agent uses it

  • Review my changes
  • Conventional commit
  • After completing a coding task

Example prompts

  • “commit”
  • “git commit”
  • “commit this”
  • “/commit-message”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, mcp__git__git_status, mcp__git__git_diff_unstaged, Read, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Review Changes
  2. Push (Optional)
  3. Create PR (Optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3bb5099. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • mcp__git__git_status
    • mcp__git__git_diff_unstaged
    • Read
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • claude.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Commit Message loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 299 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~155
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 299 words (~1,436 tokens).
