What it does

Gerrit Create is an agent skill from ambient-code/platform. Use when creating or updating Gerrit changes — pushing code for review, amending patch sets, setting reviewers and topics. Triggers on "push to Gerrit", "create a Gerrit change", "upload for review", "update the patch set", "add reviewers to this change".

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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. It works with Model Context Protocol and Git. The repository describes itself as: Vision/Mission https://ambient-code.ai : Virtual team management and collaboration platform. User guides: https://ambient-code.github.io/platform/. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating Gerrit changes — pushing code for review
  • Amending patch sets
  • Setting reviewers and topics
  • Create a Gerrit change

Example prompts

  • “push to Gerrit”
  • “create a Gerrit change”
  • “upload for review”
  • “/gerrit-create”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Commit message format: Gerrit requires a Change-Id footer in the commit message. If the Gerrit commit-msg hook is installed, it adds this…
  2. Single commit per change: Each commit becomes one Gerrit change. Squash work-in-progress commits before pushing.
  3. Target branch: Usually main or master, but verify the project's default branch.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e15afd3. 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
    • scp

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and scp, 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

Gerrit Create loads about 662 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~662

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.

Creating and Updating Gerrit Changes

Guide for pushing code changes to Gerrit for review.

Prerequisites

The Gerrit MCP server must be available and git must be configured with the appropriate remote.

Creating a new change

Gerrit changes are created by pushing commits to a special ref:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/<target-branch>
Before pushing

  1. Commit message format: Gerrit requires a Change-Id footer in the commit message. If the Gerrit commit-msg hook is installed, it adds this automatically. If not:

    Subject line (50 chars max)

Body explaining what and why (wrapped at 72 chars).

Change-Id: I<40-char-hex>

  2. Single commit per change: Each commit becomes one Gerrit change. Squash work-in-progress commits before pushing.

  3. Target branch: Usually main or master, but verify the project's default branch.

Push options

Add metadata via push options:

git push origin HEAD:refs/for/main \
  -o topic=my-feature \
  -o r=reviewer@example.com \
  -o cc=watcher@example.com \
  -o wip
  • topic=<name> — group related changes
  • r=<email> — add reviewer
  • cc=<email> — add CC
  • wip — mark as work-in-progress
  • ready — mark as ready for review
  • hashtag=<tag> — add hashtag

Updating an existing change

To upload a new patch set for an existing change:

  1. Amend the commit (keep the same Change-Id):

    git commit --amend

  2. Push again:

    git push origin HEAD:refs/for/main

Gerrit matches the Change-Id to the existing change and creates a new patch set.

Managing change metadata

After a change exists, use mcp__gerrit__submit_gerrit_review to:

  • Add comments explaining what changed in the new patch set
  • Vote on your own change (if allowed by project settings)
  • Reply to reviewer comments

Use mcp__gerrit__fetch_gerrit_change to verify the change was created/updated correctly.

Common issues

  • Missing Change-Id: Install the commit-msg hook: gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); scp -p -P 29418 <user>@<host>:hooks/commit-msg ${gitdir}/hooks/
  • Push rejected (not permitted): Check project permissions and target branch
  • Merge conflict on push: Rebase on the target branch first
  • Change already merged: The Change-Id was reused — create a new commit with a fresh Change-Id
