At a glance

Write Databasus commit messages and branch names using the repository's release-compatible format.

  • Reviewing a commit message
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Branch name in this repository

What it does

Git Commits is an agent skill from databasus/databasus. Write Databasus commit messages and branch names using the repository's release-compatible format. Use when creating, editing or reviewing a commit message or branch name in this repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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 PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and MySQL. The repository describes itself as: PostgreSQL backup tool with Point-In-Time-Recovery and restore verification. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a commit message
  • Branch name in this repository

Example prompts

  • “/git-commits”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aeacc47. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Git Commits loads about 294 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 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
~294

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
Write Databasus commit messages and branch names using the repository's release-compatible format. Use when creating, editing or reviewing a commit message or branch name in this repository.

Git commits

Use one of these subject formats:

  • FEATURE (scope): Summary
  • FIX (scope): Summary
  • REFACTOR (scope): Summary

Never use ! anywhere in the subject. The release workflow treats it as a breaking change and triggers a major version bump.

Keep the body to a short bullet list of what changed. Do not write long narrative paragraphs or hard-wrap lines at 80 characters. For example:

text
- validate PostgreSQL targets and quote conninfo values
- verify workspace access before applying saved credentials
- isolate local sockets and rotate internal database credentials
- add regression coverage and OpenSpec documentation

Keep the reasons and implementation details in OpenSpec. When a change has related OpenSpec files, commit them together with the implementation.

Name branches feature/<scope>, fix/<scope> or refactor/<scope>.

Do not include co-author attribution unless the user requests it directly.
