What it does

Git Commit is an agent skill from agulli/atlas-agents. Create well-structured git commits with conventional commit messages. Use when asked to commit changes, prepare a commit, or stage and push code.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires git

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. It works with Git. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Asked to commit changes
Prepare a commit
Stage and push code

Example prompts

“/git-commit”

Requirements

Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires git
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git:*)

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Run git status to see all changed files. Read the output carefully.
Run git diff --stat to understand the scope of the change.
Group related changes. If the diff contains unrelated changes (e.g., a bug fix AND a new feature), create separate commits. Do not bundle…
Stage files intentionally. Use git add , never git add . unless every changed file belongs in the same logical commit.
Write the commit message using Conventional Commits format
Verify before committing. Run git diff --cached to review exactly what will be committed. Read the staged diff.
Commit. Run git commit -m "..." with the message.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b21998. 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(git:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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.
Compatibility
Requires git
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Git Commit loads about 463 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~463

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.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:40

- [ ] No `.env`, `__pycache__`, or build artifacts were staged

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.

name: git-commit
description: Create well-structured git commits with conventional commit messages. Use when asked to commit changes, prepare a commit, or stage and push code.

compatibility: Requires git
license: MIT

Process

Run git status to see all changed files. Read the output carefully.
Run git diff --stat to understand the scope of the change.
Group related changes. If the diff contains unrelated changes (e.g., a bug fix AND a new feature), create separate commits. Do not bundle unrelated work.
Stage files intentionally. Use git add <specific-files>, never git add . unless every changed file belongs in the same logical commit.

Write the commit message using Conventional Commits format:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

<body — explain WHY, not WHAT>

<footer — references, breaking changes>

Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, perf, ci

Verify before committing. Run git diff --cached to review exactly what will be committed. Read the staged diff.
Commit. Run git commit -m "..." with the message.

Rationalizations

Excuse	Rebuttal
"I'll just use `git add .` to save time"	Staging everything blindly leads to committing debug files, env vars, and unrelated changes. Stage intentionally.
"The message 'fix stuff' is fine for now"	Every commit message is permanent history. Write it properly the first time.
"I'll squash these later"	You won't. Write clean commits now.

Verification

git diff --cached output was reviewed before committing
Commit message follows Conventional Commits format
No unrelated changes were bundled into a single commit
No .env, __pycache__, or build artifacts were staged
