Git commit conventions and workflow for Bitwarden repositories.

  • Committing code
  • SKILL.md covers Branch Check, Commit Message Format and Pre-Commit Quality Gate
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder

What it does

Committing Changes is an agent skill from bitwarden/ai-plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Git commit conventions and workflow for Bitwarden repositories. Use when committing code, writing commit messages, or preparing changes for commit. Triggered by "commit", "git commit", "commit message", "prepare commit", "stage changes".

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/baseline.json` and `evals/behavior-baseline.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: AI plugin marketplace.

When your agent uses it

  • Committing code
  • Writing commit messages
  • Preparing changes for commit

Example prompts

  • “commit”
  • “git commit”
  • “commit message”
  • “/committing-changes”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Skill(labeling-changes)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ticket prefix: Always include [PM-XXXXX] matching the Jira ticket
  2. Type keyword: Invoke Skill(labeling-changes) to pick the conventional commit type.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53e22a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Skill(labeling-changes)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Committing Changes loads about 492 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~492

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 152 words (~492 tokens).

“Resolve the repository's default branch from the remote rather than assuming main. If the current branch is the default, ask for a branch name before staging or committing. Offer to suggest one and confirm before switching. If the default branch…”
