What it does

Adk Git is an agent skill from google/adk-python, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Writes commit messages and pull request descriptions for the adk-python repository: Conventional Commits types and scopes, subject lines that say why a change was made, and the linked-issue and testing-plan sections the PR template requires. Use when writing or rewording a commit message, squashing commits before a pull request, drafting a PR description, or checking that a change is shaped to land.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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, Pull requests and Git workflow. It works with Git and Python. The repository describes itself as: An open-source, code-first Python toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Rewording a commit message
  • Squashing commits before a pull request
  • Drafting a PR description
  • Checking that a change is shaped to land

Example prompts

  • “Use the adk-git skill to write commit messages and pull request descriptions for the adk-python repository: Conventional Commits types and scopes…”
  • “/adk-git”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Imperative mood: add, not added.
  2. Lowercase the first word after the colon. release-please copies the
  3. No trailing period.
  4. Keep the subject under about 72 characters. Nothing enforces this, but each
  5. Reference the issue in the body, not the subject: Fixes #1234 or

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 666c26d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Adk Git loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~162
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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
Writes commit messages and pull request descriptions for the adk-python repository: Conventional Commits types and scopes, subject lines that say why a change was made, and the linked-issue and testing-plan sections the PR template requires. Use when writing or rewording a commit message, squashing commits before a pull request, drafting a PR description, or checking that a change is shaped to land. Don't use for generic git mechanics such as rebasing, resolving conflicts, cherry-picking, or branch surgery; those need no skill. Don't use to judge the content of a change (use adk-review) or for code style and naming (use adk-style).

Commit and Pull Request Conventions

Commit message format

Conventional Commits:

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

The type decides where the commit lands in CHANGELOG.md. release-please generates the changelog from merged commit subjects, so the wrong type either files the change under the wrong heading or drops it from the release notes entirely.

TypeChangelog section
featFeatures
fixBug Fixes
perfPerformance Improvements
docsDocumentation
refactor, test, build, ci, style, chorehidden, no entry

The mapping lives in .github/release-please-config.json. A type that is not listed there produces no changelog entry at all.

Scope is optional. Use a short module name with no underscores (fix(cli):, feat(a2a):, fix(sessions):) or leave it off.

Subject line

Say why the change exists, not which lines moved. A reviewer who reads only the subject should understand the motivation.

WriteNot
fix(sessions): prevent duplicate events when resuming HITLfix(sessions): check interrupt_id before appending
feat(workflow): support parallel tool executionfeat(workflow): add asyncio.gather call in execute_tools_node
refactor: make graph public for dev UI serializationrefactor: make graph a public field on Workflow

Rules:

  1. Imperative mood: add, not added.
  2. Lowercase the first word after the colon. release-please copies the subject into CHANGELOG.md verbatim, and the great majority of merged commits are lowercase, so capitalizing makes one line stand out.
  3. No trailing period.
  4. Keep the subject under about 72 characters. Nothing enforces this, but each commit renders as one changelog line.
  5. Reference the issue in the body, not the subject: Fixes #1234 or Closes #1234, or the full issue URL when the issue lives in another repository.

Self-check: read the subject back and ask whether it says why someone made the change. If it only names the edit, rewrite it.

Commit body

Add a blank line, then a short concrete explanation. For a feature, show the new capability or a usage line. For a fix, say what caused the failure and how the change addresses it.

text
feat(workflow): support JSON string parsing in schema validation

Parse JSON strings into dicts or Pydantic models when input_schema or
output_schema is defined on a node.
text
fix(sessions): prevent duplicate events when resuming HITL

interrupt_id was not checked before appending, so resuming twice appended the
same event twice. Ignore interrupts that were already processed.

Fixes #1234

Before committing

pre-commit reformats and checks staged files, and the same hooks run again in CI on every pull request, so a commit made with hooks skipped fails there.

bash
pre-commit install                  # once per clone
pre-commit run --files {paths}      # check only what changed

The hooks include isort, pyink, addlicense, mdformat, ruff, codespell, and repository-local compliance checks; see .pre-commit-config.yaml. If pre-commit is not installed, point the user at the adk-setup skill rather than committing unformatted code.

Pull requests

  • Every PR except a small documentation or typo fix needs a linked issue. Put Closes: #{issue_number} in the PR description, or describe the problem and solution inline following the issue templates.
  • Fill in the Testing Plan section of .github/pull_request_template.md, including a summary of passing pytest results.
  • Do not merge on GitHub. The Do Not Merge on GitHub check fails on every PR to main by design; a maintainer lands the change and it is synced back to the repository. GitHub then shows the PR as closed with a merged label rather than merged, and the landed commit carries the original authorship. That red check is expected and is not something to fix.
