OhMyCode commit message conventions. An agent skill from AlphaLab-USTC/OhMyCode.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Commit Conventions is an agent skill from AlphaLab-USTC/OhMyCode. OhMyCode commit message conventions. MUST load on every git commit — provides Conventional Commits format with scope inference from file paths.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 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. The repository describes itself as: Minimal and Customizable CC-Style Coding Agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/commit-conventions”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4d1bb28. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Conventions loads about 479 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~479

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

OhMyCode Commit Conventions

Format

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

All lowercase. Description should be imperative mood ("add", not "adds" or "added").

Types

TypeWhen to Use
featNew feature or capability
fixBug fix
docsDocumentation only
testAdding or updating tests
refactorCode change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
choreBuild, tooling, dependency changes
styleFormatting, whitespace (no logic change)

Scope Inference

Infer scope from the primary file path changed:

Path PatternScope
ohmycode/tools/*tools
ohmycode/core/*core
ohmycode/providers/*providers
ohmycode/config/*config
ohmycode/memory/*memory
ohmycode/storage/*storage
ohmycode/cli.pycli
tests/*same as the source being tested
docs/*omit scope
.claude/skills/* or .agents/skills/*skills

If changes span multiple scopes, use the primary one or omit scope.

Examples

feat(tools): add sql_query tool
fix(providers): handle empty delta in OpenAI streaming
docs: update DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE with hook system
test(core): add permission rule matching edge cases
refactor(cli): extract render_stream into separate module
chore: bump openai dependency to 1.52.0
feat(skills): add debug-ohmycode skill

Rules

  • First line under 72 characters
  • No period at the end
  • Body is optional — add if the change needs explanation
  • Reference issue numbers if applicable: fix(core): handle empty messages (#42)
  • Breaking changes: add ! after scope: feat(config)!: change rules format
