What it does

Commit is an agent skill from alex35mil/dotfiles. Creates a git commit for the current repository using this repo's commit style. Use when the user asks to commit staged changes or wants help writing a commit message.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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 Bash and Git.

When your agent uses it

The user asks to commit staged changes
Wants help writing a commit message

Example prompts

“Use the commit skill to create a git commit for the current repository using this repo's commit style”
“/commit”

Workflow steps

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

Inspect staged changes only.
If nothing is staged, tell the user and do not create a commit.
Infer the best commit message from the staged diff.
Do not ask for confirmation before commit - commit directly with git commit -m "".
Report the resulting short hash and subject.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4100147. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
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 438 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~438

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

WarningTells the agent its actions are pre-authorized / not to stop for confirmationSKILL.md:8
```
n this skill is invoked, do the commit. Do not ask for permission.
```

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 222 words (~438 tokens).
