What it does
Conventional Commit is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Prompt and workflow for generating conventional commit messages using a structured XML format. Guides users to create standardized, descriptive commit messages in line with the Conventional Commits specification, including instructions, examples, and validation.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 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 Git. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Commit messages
Example prompts
- “/conventional-commit”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run git status to review changed files.
- Run git diff or git diff --cached to inspect changes.
- Stage your changes with git add .
- Construct your commit message using the following XML structure.
- After generating your commit message, Copilot will automatically run the following command in your integrated terminal (no confirmation…
- Just execute this prompt and Copilot will handle the commit for you in the terminal.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
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 loads about 662 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 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 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.
