What it does
Dev Commit is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Safe git commit workflow for AI coding agents. Use when the user asks to commit, prepare a commit, stage changes, create a PR-ready checkpoint, or finish work with a conventional commit while avoiding unrelated user changes.
Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to commit
- Prepare a commit
- Create a PR-ready checkpoint
- Finish work with a conventional commit while avoiding unrelated user changes
Example prompts
- “/dev-commit”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check repository state with git status --short --branch, git diff --stat, and git diff.
- Identify the files that belong to the requested change. Treat pre-existing user edits, local config, generated artifacts, dependency…
- Run appropriate validation before committing. Prefer the repo's targeted tests, lint, typecheck, build, or documented verification…
- Stage only intended paths. Prefer explicit pathspecs such as git add path/to/file over git add ..
- Re-check with git diff --cached --stat, git diff --cached, and git status --short.
- Write a concise conventional commit message: (optional-scope): .
- Commit, then report the commit SHA, final status, validation commands, and any unstaged/untracked files left behind.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ef0cd5. 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:
gitnpm
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 npm, 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
Dev Commit loads about 799 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:22
- Do not commit secrets, credentials, `.env` files, local machine config, caches, coverage, logs, screenshots, or genera
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.

Dev Commit
Make one intentional, verified commit without sweeping in unrelated work.
Commit Contract
- Check repository state with
git status --short --branch,git diff --stat, andgit diff. - Identify the files that belong to the requested change. Treat pre-existing user edits, local config, generated artifacts, dependency caches, build outputs, and unrelated formatting churn as out of scope unless the user explicitly includes them.
- Run appropriate validation before committing. Prefer the repo's targeted tests, lint, typecheck, build, or documented verification commands. Record skipped validation with the reason. In workspaces whose packages resolve against built artifacts, ensure install and build have run in that worktree (
npm ci,npm run build) before full validation or commit hooks; a fresh worktree with stale artifacts fails hooks for environmental reasons. - Stage only intended paths. Prefer explicit pathspecs such as
git add path/to/fileovergit add .. - Re-check with
git diff --cached --stat,git diff --cached, andgit status --short. - Write a concise conventional commit message:
<type>(optional-scope): <summary>. - Commit, then report the commit SHA, final status, validation commands, and any unstaged/untracked files left behind.
Guardrails
- Do not commit secrets, credentials,
.envfiles, local machine config, caches, coverage, logs, screenshots, or generated files unless the change explicitly requires them. - Do not stage another person's unrelated edits. If intended and unrelated changes are mixed in one file, use an interactive or patch-based staging flow and review the staged diff carefully.
- Do not amend, rebase, force-push, reset, or delete branches unless the user explicitly asks for that operation.
- If validation fails, stop before committing unless the user explicitly instructs you to commit with failing validation. Report the failing command and key output.
- If the repo has commit hooks, let them run. If a hook changes files, inspect and stage only intended hook outputs before retrying. If a hook fails, first rule out environmental causes (missing install, stale workspace build artifacts, concurrent test runs sharing resources) by re-running the failing package in isolation; do not treat an environmental failure as a code regression or "stop" condition until isolated runs still fail.

Message Style
Use semantic or conventional commit types that match the change:
feat: user-facing feature or capabilityfix: bug fixdocs: documentation-only changetest: test-only changerefactor: behavior-preserving code restructuringchore: maintenance, build, tooling, metadata, or generated index updates
Keep the subject under about 72 characters when practical, imperative, and specific. Add a body only when it explains non-obvious validation, risk, migration, or follow-up context.

When should I use Dev Commit?
Dev Commit fits situations like: the user asks to commit; prepare a commit; create a PR-ready checkpoint; finish work with a conventional commit while avoiding unrelated user changes.
How do I install Dev Commit in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill dev-commit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/dev-commit in codeaholicguy/ai-devkit) into .claude/skills/dev-commit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Dev Commit in Codex?
Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill dev-commit -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/dev-commit in codeaholicguy/ai-devkit) into .agents/skills/dev-commit in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Dev Commit in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill dev-commit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dev-commit, .gemini/skills/dev-commit, .github/skills/dev-commit and .opencode/skills/dev-commit in your project.
What does Dev Commit need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Dev Commit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git and npm).
Does Dev Commit access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Dev Commit safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Dev Commit use?
Dev Commit is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Dev Commit use?
About 799 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Dev Commit?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Dev Commit: React Router Release Notes Prep (remix-run/react-router, 57k stars), ToolJet Multi-Repo Commit (ToolJet/ToolJet, 41k stars), Git Workflow and Versioning (addyosmani/agent-skills, 102k stars) and React Router Pull Request Creator (remix-run/react-router, 57k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
