What it does

Commit is an agent skill from hackers-pub/hackerspub. Make a commit in Git with an appropriate commit message for the currently staged changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 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: ActivityPub-enabled social network for hackers. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/commit”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git *)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 32ea7f7. 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:

    • Bash(git *)

    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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • claude.ai

    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 485 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~485

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
Make a commit in Git with an appropriate commit message for the currently staged changes.
allowed-tools
Bash(git *)

Please make a commit with an appropriate commit message for the currently staged changes.

Don't touch the staged changes, just create the commit.

The first line of the commit message should be a concise summary of the changes (50 characters or less). You shouldn't follow the conventional commits, in other words, just write a normal commit message without any special prefixes.

The second line of the commit message should be blank.

The rest of the commit message should provide more detailed explanations about the changes, wrapped at 72 characters.

If you have some references like issues or pull requests, you can add them in the body of the commit message, usually after a blank line. Issues and pull requests should be referenced as full URLs instead of #numbers, and you can put some verbs like “Fixes” or “Closes” before the URLs. For just references without any verbs, you can just put the URLs in the body.

When running git commit, pass the commit message via a HEREDOC to preserve newlines correctly. Never use literal \n escape sequences inside a quoted string, as they will appear as literal characters in the commit message. For example:

bash
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Summary line here

Detailed explanation here.
EOF
)"

Don't put Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), or Co-authored-by trailers at the end of the commit message. Instead, use the Assisted-by trailer to indicate that the commit was generated by an AI assistant, if necessary. The format of the Assisted-by trailer should be:

Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION

For example:

Assisted-by: OpenCode:qwen3.6-plus
Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-sonnet-4-6
Assisted-by: Gemini CLI:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5.4
