What it does
Commit Messages is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Generates conventional commit messages from staged changes. Use when committing and needing a well-formatted message. Do not use for full PR prep; use pr-prep.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Git. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Committing and needing a well-formatted message
- Tasks that involve Commit messages
Example prompts
- “Use the commit-messages skill to generate conventional commit messages from staged changes. An agent skill from athola/claude-night-market”
- “/commit-messages”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Gather context (run in parallel)
- Classify: Pick type (feat, fix, docs, refactor,
- Draft the message
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. 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 Messages loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 633 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Conventional Commit Workflow
When To Use
- Generating conventional commit messages from staged changes
When NOT To Use
- Full PR preparation: use sanctum:pr-prep
- Amending existing commits: use git directly
Steps
Gather context (run in parallel):
git status -sbgit diff --cached --statgit diff --cachedgit log --oneline -5- When sem is available (see
leyline:sem-integration):sem diff --staged --jsonfor entity-level changes
If nothing is staged, tell the user and stop.
When sem output is available, use entity names (function, class, method) in the commit subject and body instead of parsing raw diff hunks. For example, "add function validate_webhook_url" instead of "add validation logic to notify.py".
Classify: Pick type (
feat,fix,docs,refactor,test,chore,style,perf,ci) and optional scope.Draft the message:
- Subject:
<type>(<scope>): <imperative summary>(50 chars max) - Body: What and why, wrapped at 72 chars
- Footer: BREAKING CHANGE, issue refs, and the discussion trailer below
- Subject:
3a. Discussion trailer: when the change resolves a finding from the Discussions board, add a trailer on its own line:
Addresses-Discussion: #654
Addresses-Discussion: #604, #610 This is the only signal scripts/reconcile_discussions.py
accepts as proof a finding is done. It posts the resolution
comment and closes the discussion, so the board stops
carrying work that is already finished.
Only add it when this commit resolves the finding. Prose
that merely names a discussion is read as a mention and is
never written back. That distinction is load-bearing:
6b28aa1a says "posted 13 insights to discussions
#424-#436", which is the commit that opened those
discussions. A trailer there would have announced
"Addressed" on findings nobody had looked at yet.
Cite a discussion in the body for context as often as it helps. Reserve the trailer for resolution.
Slop check: reject these words and replace with plain alternatives:
Reject Use instead leverage, utilize use seamless smooth comprehensive complete robust solid facilitate enable streamline simplify optimize improve delve explore multifaceted varied pivotal key intricate detailed Also reject: "it's worth noting", "at its core", "in essence", "a testament to"
4a. Character-level slop check: load shared/output-hygiene.md
(Contract A) and strip these markers. Inline fallback if that
module is absent:
| Marker | Replace with |
|---|---|
"+" as a prose conjunction | and (keep + in versions/code) |
em-dash — | colon, period, comma, or rewrite |
-- as prose punctuation | colon or rewrite |
arrows -> / → as connectors | to / into |
smart quotes “ ” ‘ ’ | straight " and ' |
a , so tail after fact after fact | delete a consequence the reader can infer, else its own sentence |
4b. Subject-matter check (Contract B): describe the change by its
reader-facing effect. Name neither the AI origin nor the specific
marker removed. Do NOT write remove AI slop, de-slop,
AI-generated content, AI phrasing, replace em-dashes, or
remove smart quotes. Test: if the subject only makes sense as "I
cleaned up AI output", rewrite it. For example docs: clarify the setup section, not style: replace em-dashes with colons.

Rules
- NEVER use
git commit --no-verifyor-n - Write for humans, not to impress
- If pre-commit hooks fail, fix the issues
- This skill drafts a message, it does not commit. Whoever commits
confirms HEAD advanced (
git rev-parse HEADbefore and after) before reporting the commit as landed. An auto-fixing hook aborts the commit while printing a tail that reads like success, so hook output is not evidence. See discussion #614.
Exit Criteria
-
commit_msg.txtwritten to the working directory containing the drafted conventional commit message - Subject line follows
<type>(<scope>): <summary>format and is at most 50 characters - Slop word check passes: none of the banned words (leverage, utilize, seamless, comprehensive, robust, etc.) appear in the message
- Character-level check passes: no em-dashes, no
+as prose conjunction, no smart quotes, no->as prose connector - Body carries at most one
, soconsequence tail (scripts/slop_score.py --auditlists each asso_connective) - If nothing is staged, skill halts immediately and reports "nothing staged" without producing a commit message
