At a glance

Reviews the working tree and creates a focused commit with a Conventional Commits message, staging selectively and never bypassing hooks.

  • Works in 6 steps: Run git status and git diff (and git… → Review recent history for style: git log… → Group the change into a single focused… → …
  • Committing the current change with a properly formatted message
  • SKILL.md covers Steps, Types and Notes
  • Calls git

What it does

The skill looks at `git status`, `git diff` and the staged diff, then recent history for style, and groups the change into one focused commit, staging selectively when unrelated work is mixed in. The message follows the Conventional Commits form of type, optional scope, optional breaking-change marker and an imperative summary, with an optional body explaining what and why.

A type table lists feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, style, perf, chore, build, ci and revert. Rules say to never use `--no-verify`, to fix the cause when a pre-commit hook fails, and to keep secrets, generated artifacts and work in progress off the protected main branch. The format is enforced by gitlint in the commit-msg hook, titles carry no emoji, and each commit holds one logical change so history stays bisectable.

When your agent uses it

  • Committing the current change with a properly formatted message
  • Splitting mixed edits into separate focused commits
  • Marking a commit as a breaking change

Example prompts

  • “Commit my changes with a Conventional Commits message.”
  • “My working tree mixes a bug fix and a refactor. Split them into two commits.”
  • “Write a commit for the search feature with the scope set and a breaking change marker.”

Requirements

  • Git

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run git status and git diff (and git diff --staged) to see what changed.
  2. Review recent history for style: git log --oneline -10.
  3. Group the change into a single focused commit. If the working tree mixes
  4. Write the message in Conventional Commits form
  5. Never use --no-verify. If pre-commit hooks fail, fix the cause and re-commit.
  6. Do not commit secrets, generated artifacts, or work-in-progress directly to

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2aa949. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • conventionalcommits.org

    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

Conventional Commit Writer loads about 443 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~443

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.

SKILL.md

GitHub didn't answer just now, so the file isn't shown here. It has 197 words (~443 tokens).
