What it does

Piv Commit is an agent skill from coleam00/skills. Creates a new git commit for all uncommitted changes with an atomic, conventionally-tagged message. Use when work is complete and ready to be committed.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 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 agent skills I actually use to build software with coding agents. The PIV loop, planning, worktrees, and the meta-skills for building your own AI Layer. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Work is complete and ready to be committed
  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “Use the piv-commit skill to create a new git commit for all uncommitted changes with an atomic, conventionally-tagged message”
  • “/piv-commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read this project's conventions. If .claude/references/conventions.md exists, read its ## commit
  2. Run git status && git diff HEAD && git status --porcelain to see what files are uncommitted.
  3. Add the untracked and changed files.
  4. Write an atomic commit message with an appropriate, descriptive summary.
  5. Add a tag such as feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, etc. that reflects our work.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dfaa910. 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

Piv Commit loads about 412 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~412

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.

description
Creates a new git commit for all uncommitted changes with an atomic, conventionally-tagged message. Use when work is complete and ready to be committed.

Commit: Create a New Commit

Create a new commit for all of our uncommitted changes.

Process

  1. Read this project's conventions. If .claude/references/conventions.md exists, read its ## commit section and follow it — those rules win over the defaults below. That file is where a project's specifics live; this skill stays general.
  2. Run git status && git diff HEAD && git status --porcelain to see what files are uncommitted.
  3. Add the untracked and changed files.
  4. Write an atomic commit message with an appropriate, descriptive summary.
  5. Add a tag such as feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, etc. that reflects our work.

Output

A single commit containing all uncommitted changes, with a conventional-commit-style message (<tag>: <atomic description>) that accurately reflects the work done.

After the commit succeeds, print two clearly labelled summaries:

What Changed

One short paragraph (3–6 sentences) describing the feature/fix/refactor that was committed — what problem it solves and what files were the key touch points. Write for a developer skimming the git log.

AI Layer Changes

Only include this section if any files under .claude/ were modified or added (CLAUDE.md, .claude/references/, .claude/skills/, .claude/agents/, etc.).

List each changed AI-layer file with a one-line note on what evolved and why. If nothing in .claude/ changed, omit this section entirely.
