What it does
Commit Protocol is an agent skill from EmeaAppGbb/spec2cloud. Create standardized git commits at phase and increment boundaries. Defines commit procedures, message formats, and state bundling. Use when committing after phase completion, increment delivery, or slice implementation.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 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. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Committing after phase completion
- Increment delivery
- Slice implementation
Example prompts
- “/commit-protocol”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e76618. 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
Commit Protocol loads about 580 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:51
- [ ] No secrets, `.env` files, or `node_modules` are staged
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-protocol
- description
- Create standardized git commits at phase and increment boundaries. Defines commit procedures, message formats, and state bundling. Use when committing after phase completion, increment delivery, or slice implementation.
Commit Protocol
At key checkpoints, create commits that bundle artifacts produced. This gives a clean, resumable history in git log.
Commit Procedure
After a step or phase completes (and human gate approved, where applicable):
1. Stage all changes:
git add -A
2. Commit with an appropriate tag (see table below).
3. Update state.json to reflect the new state.
4. Append an entry to audit.log.
5. Commit the state update:
git add .spec2cloud/ && git commit -m "spec2cloud: state update"Commit Messages
| Event | Commit Message |
|---|---|
| Shell setup | [phase-0] Shell setup complete |
| Product discovery | [phase-1] Product discovery complete — N FRDs, N screens, N increments, tech stack resolved |
| Increment tests | [increment] {id}/tests — test scaffolding complete |
| Increment contracts | [increment] {id}/contracts — contracts generated |
| Increment slice | [impl] {id}/{slice} — slice green |
| Increment all tests green | [impl] {id} — all tests green |
| Increment delivered | [increment] {id} — delivered |
| All increments complete | [release] All increments delivered — product complete |
Why Increment-Level Commits
Each increment is a self-contained delivery. Commits at increment boundaries mean:
git log --oneline --grep="\[increment\]"shows the delivery timeline- Each delivered increment is a revertable, deployable unit
- Mid-increment commits at slice granularity create resumable checkpoints
Mandatory Completion Checklist
The orchestrator MUST verify ALL of the following for every commit:
- Commit message follows the format table above (correct prefix for the phase/step)
-
.spec2cloud/state.jsonis included in the commit -
.spec2cloud/audit.logis included in the commit - No secrets,
.envfiles, ornode_modulesare staged - Co-authored-by trailer is present
BLOCKING: A commit without state.json and audit.log breaks resume capability. The orchestrator must include them before finalizing the commit.

Can I use Commit Protocol in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add EmeaAppGbb/spec2cloud --skill commit-protocol -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/commit-protocol, .gemini/skills/commit-protocol, .github/skills/commit-protocol and .opencode/skills/commit-protocol in your project.
What does Commit Protocol need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Commit Protocol needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Commit Protocol access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Commit Protocol use?
Commit Protocol is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Commit Protocol use?
About 580 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
