What it does

Commit is an agent skill from alamenai/terrae. Create standardized git commits following Terrae's conventions

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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. It works with Mapbox, Git and React. The repository describes itself as: Composable and animated components that replace imperative layers with simple props. The perfect companion for shadcn/ui. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/commit”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git *)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check Current State
  2. Review Changes with User
  3. Stage Files
  4. Commit Message Format
  5. New Component Convention

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ea9a480. 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.

Context cost

Commit loads about 568 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 253 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~568

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:24
    - Never stage sensitive files (.env, credentials, etc.)

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.

Commit Skill

Create standardized git commits following Terrae's conventions.

Instructions

  1. Check Current State

    • Run git status to see changed files
    • Run git diff to see the actual changes
  2. Review Changes with User

    • Summarize what files were changed
    • Explain the nature of changes (new feature, bug fix, refactor, etc.)
    • Ask the user if they want to proceed with the commit
  3. Stage Files

    • Stage specific files by name (avoid git add -A or git add .)
    • Never stage sensitive files (.env, credentials, etc.)
  4. Commit Message Format Follow conventional commits:

    type(scope): description

    Types:

    • feat: New feature
    • fix: Bug fix
    • docs: Documentation changes
    • style: Formatting, no code change
    • refactor: Code restructuring
    • test: Adding or updating tests
    • chore: Maintenance tasks

    Examples:

    • feat(marker): add rotation support
    • fix(popup): prevent memory leak on unmount
    • docs(readme): update installation instructions
  5. New Component Convention

    When committing a new component, split into 3 separate commits in this order:

    1. feat(map): add {component} component — the source file (src/registry/map/{slug}.tsx)
    2. feat(docs): add {component} example components — all example files (src/app/docs/_components/examples/{slug}-*.tsx)
    3. feat(docs): add {component} documentation page — the docs page (src/app/docs/{slug}/page.tsx)

    Shared file modifications (sidebar, components page, changelog, registry.json, barrel export) should be committed separately since they often contain changes for multiple components.

  6. Important Rules

    • Do NOT add Co-Authored-By lines
    • Do NOT commit until user approves
    • Do NOT use --amend unless explicitly requested
    • Do NOT push unless explicitly requested
    • Keep commit messages concise (under 72 characters)
  7. Create the Commit

    bash
    git commit -m "type(scope): description"
  8. Verify

    • Run git status to confirm commit succeeded
    • Show the commit hash to the user

Questions about Commit

What does Commit do?

Create standardized git commits following Terrae's conventions. Commit is an agent skill from alamenai/terrae.

When should I use Commit?

Commit fits situations like: tasks that involve Commit messages.

How do I install Commit in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add alamenai/terrae --skill commit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/commit in alamenai/terrae) into .claude/skills/commit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Commit in Codex?

Run `npx skills add alamenai/terrae --skill commit -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/commit in alamenai/terrae) into .agents/skills/commit in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Commit in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alamenai/terrae --skill commit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/commit, .gemini/skills/commit, .github/skills/commit and .opencode/skills/commit in your project.

What does Commit need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Commit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash(git *).

Does Commit access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Commit safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Commit use?

Commit is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Commit use?

About 568 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Commit?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Commit: Commit Work (bartstc/vite-ts-react-template, 122 stars), Git Workflow (softmaple/softmaple, 159 stars), React Router Release Notes Prep (remix-run/react-router, 57k stars) and ToolJet Multi-Repo Commit (ToolJet/ToolJet, 41k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Commit?

alamenai (a GitHub user) maintains it in alamenai/terrae, which has 245 GitHub stars. The repository holds 11 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on April 6, 2026.
