What it does

Git Commit Assistant is an agent skill from dmitriiweb/extract-emails. Generate high-quality conventional git commit messages and, with user approval, run the commit. Use when drafting or refining commit messages, validating commit quality, or committing staged work while avoiding noisy histories.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/commit_rules.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: Extract emails and links to linkedin accounts from URLs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Refining commit messages
  • Validating commit quality
  • Committing staged work while avoiding noisy histories

Example prompts

  • “/git-commit-assistant”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect changes
  2. Select type/scope
  3. Draft the message
  4. Quality gate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f2bb40. 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

Git Commit Assistant loads about 558 tokens when it runs, and up to ~966 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~558
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~966

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
Generate high-quality conventional git commit messages and, with user approval, run the commit. Use when drafting or refining commit messages, validating commit quality, or committing staged work while avoiding noisy histories.

Git Commit Assistant

Quick start

  • Review staged changes and ensure they cover a single concern.
  • Choose <type>(optional-scope) and write an imperative 50-72 character summary.
  • Add body for why/decisions/trade-offs; footers for breaking changes or issue references.
  • Show the message in a fenced code block, ask for approval to commit, then commit only if approved.
  • See references/commit_rules.md for full rules and examples.

Workflow

  1. Inspect changes

    • Check git status and git diff --cached to confirm what will be committed.
    • If changes mix concerns or include formatting noise, ask to split or stage appropriately.

  2. Select type/scope

    • Allowed types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, build, ci, perf, style.
    • Scope is optional; keep it short (e.g., api, auth, deps).

  3. Draft the message

    • Summary: imperative, no trailing period, describe what/why, not implementation detail.
    • Body (only if valuable): why the change was needed, key decisions, trade-offs; wrap to ~72 chars.
    • Footers (when relevant): breaking changes, migration notes, issue references (e.g., Closes #123).

  4. Quality gate

    • Message intent must match the staged diff; avoid kitchen-sink commits.
    • Do not mix formatting-only changes with functional work.
    • Avoid noisy summaries like update, fix stuff, changes, wip.

Confirmation and commit

  • Present the message in a fenced code block and ask the user to accept.
  • On approval:
    • Confirm staged changes are correct; surface unstaged items before committing.
    • Run git commit -m "<summary>" with additional -m "<body>" / -m "<footers>" as needed.
    • If the commit fails, report the error and pause for guidance.
  • If the user declines, revise the message or wait for more information.
