At a glance

Follow the adopted commit and pull-request conventions. An agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway.

  • Creating a commit
  • SKILL.md covers Commit message and Pull request
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Preparing to squash-merge a PR

What it does

Commit And PR Conventions is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Follow the adopted commit and pull-request conventions. Use whenever creating a commit or opening, editing, reviewing, or preparing to squash-merge a PR, including requests to commit, push, or open a PR.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 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 Pull requests and Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a commit
  • Preparing to squash-merge a PR
  • Including requests to commit

Example prompts

  • “/commit-and-pr-conventions”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62de985. 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

Commit And PR Conventions loads about 739 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 354 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~739

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.

Commit and PR conventions

Treat the PR title and initial body as the exact commit message that squash-and-merge will land.

Commit message

  • Read repository instructions first. Derive scopes with the repository-local commit-scope skill. If unavailable, use explicit repository rules or omit the scope rather than inventing one.
  • Follow Conventional Commits: <type>[optional scope][!]: <description>.
  • Target 50 characters and describe the resulting behavior. Do not drop repository-required scopes to meet that target; when they make it impossible, keep the remaining description as concise as practical.
  • Separate subject, body, and footers with blank lines.
  • For standalone commits, wrap body lines at 72 characters. Explain why the change was needed, how it solves it, and material side effects.
  • Put an existing ticket key or link in a footer, not the subject: Issue: PROJECT-123. Follow repository-specific footer format when an issue exists. When none exists, omit the footer rather than fabricating Issue: N/A.
  • Add applicable Conventional Commit footers and Co-authored-by: Name <email> trailers for collaborators.
  • Choose the type by the affected surface, not by whether the change fixes a defect.
  • Use ci for CI, workflow, and automation changes, including fixes to that automation.
  • Use fix for product or runtime bugs and non-feature changes to externally consumed public API boundaries.
  • Use feat for features, build for build or dependencies, chore for non-product tools or configuration, docs for documentation only, style for non-semantic edits, refactor for internal restructuring, test for tests, and perf for performance.
  • Mark breaking changes with ! or a BREAKING CHANGE footer without changing an otherwise accurate type.
  • Keep every non-squashed development commit coherent and conventional.

Pull request

  • Set the title to the intended squash commit subject exactly.
  • Set the initial body to the intended squash commit body and footers exactly. Exclude PR-only preambles, checklists, and implementation journals.
  • Do not manually wrap the PR body; GitHub handles display wrapping.
  • Keep permanent history concise: record motivation, material behavior, and side effects.
  • Put experiments, alternatives, extensive validation, and implementation chronology in follow-up comments.
  • Update the title and initial body as the implementation evolves.
  • Before opening, updating, or merging, read title + blank line + body as one commit message and correct any mismatch.
