What it does

Commit is an agent skill from ccusage/ccusage. Creates atomic Conventional Commits. Use when committing code changes, splitting a diff into independently revertable hunks, staging precise patches non-interactively, or writing commit messages.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/git-apply.md` and `references/push.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. It works with Git.

When your agent uses it

  • Committing code changes
  • Splitting a diff into independently revertable hunks
  • Staging precise patches non-interactively
  • Writing commit messages

Example prompts

  • “Use the commit skill to create atomic Conventional Commits. An agent skill from ccusage/ccusage”
  • “/commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the state and recent history — git status --short, git diff HEAD, git log --oneline -10 — and match the granularity, scopes, and…
  2. Split the diff into independently revertable units, hunk by hunk rather than file by file.
  3. Stage each unit with git apply --cached -v . git add -p and git add --interactive hang in this environment, so a patch is the only way to…
  4. Commit, then confirm with git show HEAD.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ca8d8e. 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 loads about 722 tokens when it runs, and up to ~965 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~722
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~965

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 392 words (~722 tokens).
