What it does

Generating Conventional Commits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute generates conventional commit messages using AI. It analyzes code changes and suggests a commit message adhering to the conventional commits specification. Use this skill when you need help writing clear, standardized commit messages, especially a... Use when managing version control. Trigger with phrases like 'commit', 'branch', or 'git'.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `scripts/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need help writing clear
  • Standardized commit messages
  • Managing version control
  • With phrases like commit

Example prompts

  • “commit”
  • “branch”
  • “/generating-conventional-commits”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze Changes: The skill analyzes the staged changes in your Git repository.
  2. Generate Suggestion: It uses AI to generate a commit message based on the analyzed changes, adhering to the conventional commits format…
  3. Present to User: The generated commit message is presented to you for review and acceptance.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Generating Conventional Commits loads about 838 tokens when it runs, and up to ~855 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~838
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~855

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

  2. Generate Suggestion: It uses AI to generate a commit message based on the analyzed changes, adhering to the conventional commits format (e.g., feat: add new feature, fix: correct bug).
  3. Present to User: The generated commit message is presented to you for review and acceptance.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Create a commit message after making code changes.
  • Ensure your commit messages follow the conventional commits standard.
  • Save time writing commit messages manually.

Examples

Example 1: Adding a New Feature
