What it does

Gh Commit is an agent skill from bastani-inc/atomic. Create well-formatted commits with conventional commit format.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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: The verifiable coding agent runtime. Define your coding agent's process in natural language with stages, checks, and approval gates instead of hoping it follows your…

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

“/gh-commit”

Workflow steps

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

Checks which files are staged with git status
If 0 files are staged, automatically adds all modified and new files with git add
Performs a git diff to understand what changes are being committed
Analyzes the diff to determine if multiple distinct logical changes are present
If multiple distinct changes are detected, suggests breaking the commit into multiple smaller commits
For each commit (or the single commit if not split), creates a commit message using conventional commit format

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1ec2fe8. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- semver.org
- git-scm.com
- github.com
- ietf.org
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

Gh Commit loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,779 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.4k

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.

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,779 words (~3,422 tokens).
