Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Devolutions/IronRDP.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.agents/skills/commit-scope .claude/skills/commit-scope && rm -rf skills-src

  • SKILL.md covers Canonical scopes, Selection rules and Tests
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Commit Scope is an agent skill from Devolutions/IronRDP. Derive and validate the canonical scope for IronRDP Conventional Commit and pull-request titles. Use whenever composing, reviewing, correcting, or checking a commit or PR title, especially when several crates or product surfaces intersect.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 and Pull requests. It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: Rust implementation of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking a commit
  • Especially when several crates
  • Product surfaces intersect

Example prompts

  • “/commit-scope”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scope the contract or behavior being changed, not every touched path.
  2. When another component owns the change, ignore supporting tests, documentation, generated files, manifests, lockfiles, and call-site…
  3. Prefer the component defining the behavior over components that merely consume it.
  4. Split independent contract changes when practical.
  5. Omit the scope when an indivisible change has multiple equal owners.
  6. Never combine scopes or invent a catch-all scope; explain secondary effects in the body.
  7. Add a new scope only for a distinct contract that does not fit an existing aggregate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c08bda. 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 Scope loads about 854 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~854

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.

Most scopes match an ironrdp-* component after removing the prefix. Use these aggregate mappings:

  • meta: the ironrdp meta crate.
  • graphics: ironrdp-graphics and ironrdp-nscodec.
  • config: ironrdp-cfg, ironrdp-propertyset, and ironrdp-rdpfile.
  • input: ironrdp-input and ironrdp-ainput.
  • driver: ironrdp-async, ironrdp-blocking, ironrdp-tokio, and ironrdp-futures.
  • dvc: DRDYNVC infrastructure, the COM plugin, and the pipe proxy, but not specific dynamic channels.
  • cliprdr, rdpdr, and rdpsnd: each protocol and its format or native support crates.
  • rdpeai: MS-RDPEAI audio input protocol and related client capture wiring.
  • server: ironrdp-acceptor and ironrdp-server.
  • web: WASM bindings, the Rust web helper, and everything under web-client.
  • ffi: the Rust FFI and generated or manual .NET bindings, but not ActiveX.
  • replay: ironrdp-replay-client.
  • fuzz: fuzz targets, harnesses, corpora, and fuzzing automation.
  • release: changelog, packaging, publishing, and release automation.
  • pr-automation: automated PR classification and review infrastructure.
  • agents: agent instructions and reusable skills.

Selection rules

  1. Scope the contract or behavior being changed, not every touched path.
  2. When another component owns the change, ignore supporting tests, documentation, generated files, manifests, lockfiles, and call-site adaptations.
  3. Prefer the component defining the behavior over components that merely consume it.
  4. Split independent contract changes when practical.
  5. Omit the scope when an indivisible change has multiple equal owners.
  6. Never combine scopes or invent a catch-all scope; explain secondary effects in the body.
  7. Add a new scope only for a distinct contract that does not fit an existing aggregate.

Use the component scope with any applicable type:

text
fix(cliprdr): reject invalid file ranges
feat(driver): expose multitransport handoff
ci(release): sign binary artifacts
build(web): update frontend dependencies

Do not use types or cross-cutting aspects as scopes. This excludes ci, test, docs, build, deps, perf, tooling, automation, workspace, protocol, channels, native, security, and api. Use no scope for genuinely repository-wide changes.

Tests

Use test by default. Use only test(core) for core-tier tests, generators, fuzzing, and fixtures, or test(extra) for extra-tier integration infrastructure. Do not use component scopes with test. A production change accompanied by tests keeps its production type and scope.

Outside the test type, core means ironrdp-core. extra is valid only in test(extra).

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/commit-scope, .gemini/skills/commit-scope, .github/skills/commit-scope and .opencode/skills/commit-scope in your project.

What does Commit Scope need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Commit Scope is instructions for the agent only.

Does Commit Scope access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
