At a glance

A skill your agent uses for every request to commit changes or draft a commit message.

  • Every request to commit changes
  • SKILL.md covers Before Committing, Message Rules, Footers and Creating the Commit
  • Calls git
  • Draft a commit message

What it does

Commit is an agent skill from getsentry/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use for every request to commit changes or draft a commit message. Creates Sentry-style conventional commits with issue references.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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. It works with Sentry. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills used by the Sentry team for development. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Every request to commit changes
  • Draft a commit message

Example prompts

  • “/commit”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d18b7aa. 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 loads about 467 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~467

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.

Sentry Commit Messages

Before Committing

bash
git branch --show-current

If the branch is main or master, create a feature branch unless the user explicitly requested a direct commit. Re-check the branch and stop if it is still main or master.

Commit one coherent, independently reviewable change at a time.

Message Rules

Use:

text
<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<optional body>

<optional footer>
  • Scope is optional. Add ! before : for a breaking change.
  • Write the subject in imperative, present tense; capitalize it, omit the trailing period, and keep it at 70 characters or fewer.
  • Keep every line under 100 characters.
  • Use the body only when useful. Explain what changed and why, including previous behavior or motivation when it helps.
  • Never include customer or organization names, user emails, support ticket contents, secrets, or PII. Describe the technical symptom instead.

Allowed types: feat, fix, ref, perf, docs, test, build, ci, chore, style, meta, license, and revert.

Use ref for refactoring without behavior changes, style for formatting without logic changes, and meta for repository metadata.

Footers

  • Fixes <issue> closes an issue when merged.
  • Refs <issue> links an issue without closing it.
  • For breaking changes, add BREAKING CHANGE: <impact>.

Creating the Commit

Use separate -m arguments for paragraphs and footers. Never put literal \n sequences in a commit message or open an interactive editor.

bash
git commit -m "fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint" \
  -m "Return 404 when the user API finds a deleted account." \
  -m "Fixes SENTRY-5678"
