What it does

Commit is an agent skill from LennartHennigs/ESPRotary. Stage and commit current changes for ESPRotary — checks for needed CHANGELOG/README/CLAUDE.md updates, creates a branch if on master, writes a commit message, and commits

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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, Changelog and release notes and Agent instruction files. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Arduino/ESP library to simplify reading rotary encoder data. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/commit”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand what changed
  2. Branch check
  3. Check CHANGELOG
  4. Check README
  5. Check CLAUDE.md
  6. Stage and commit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d029ba. 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 590 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~590

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.

Stage and commit current changes for ESPRotary — checks for needed CHANGELOG/README/CLAUDE.md updates, creates a branch if on master, writes a commit message, and commits

Commit the current working changes. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Understand what changed

Run git diff --stat and git status to see what files are modified or untracked. Read the diffs for any changed source files (src/, test/, examples/) to understand the nature of the changes.

Step 2: Branch check

Run git branch --show-current. If on master or main:

  • Infer a short branch name from the changes (e.g. fix/phantom-event, feat/context, docs/readme-update)
  • Run git checkout -b <branch-name>
  • Tell the user which branch was created

Step 3: Check CHANGELOG

If any source files (src/, test/, examples/) changed, check whether the ## Unreleased section of CHANGELOG.md documents those changes. If not, add the missing entries under ## Unreleased following the established format (American English spelling):

  • Bug fixes, new API, behavioral changes, and internal/test/infra changes each as a concise bullet
  • Reference the relevant issue/PR with a Markdown link where applicable

Skip changelog update for whitespace-only, comment, or docs-only changes.

Step 4: Check README

If the public API changed (new/removed/renamed methods in src/ESPRotary.h), check whether README.md reflects the change — both the prose sections and the "Class Definition" code block. If not, update them. Skip for internal or test-only changes.

Step 5: Check CLAUDE.md

If a non-obvious pattern, gotcha, or invariant was introduced that future sessions should know about (e.g. the last_steps sync invariant), add a concise note to CLAUDE.md. Do not add obvious or one-off information.

Step 6: Stage and commit

Stage all relevant files:

bash
git add <changed source files> CHANGELOG.md  # plus README.md / CLAUDE.md if updated

Write a conventional commit message:

  • fix: for bug fixes
  • feat: for new features
  • test: for test-only changes
  • docs: for documentation only
  • chore: / release: for tooling, config, infra, version bumps

Keep the subject line under 72 characters. Add a short body if the why isn't obvious from the subject.

Run git commit -m "..." and confirm success.

Questions about Commit

What does Commit do?

Stage and commit current changes for ESPRotary — checks for needed CHANGELOG/README/CLAUDE.md updates, creates a branch if on master, writes a commit message, and commits. Commit is an agent skill from LennartHennigs/ESPRotary.

When should I use Commit?

Commit fits situations like: tasks that involve Commit messages; tasks that involve Changelog and release notes; tasks that involve Agent instruction files.

How do I install Commit in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add LennartHennigs/ESPRotary --skill commit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/commit in LennartHennigs/ESPRotary) into .claude/skills/commit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Commit in Codex?

Run `npx skills add LennartHennigs/ESPRotary --skill commit -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/commit in LennartHennigs/ESPRotary) into .agents/skills/commit in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Commit in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add LennartHennigs/ESPRotary --skill commit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/commit, .gemini/skills/commit, .github/skills/commit and .opencode/skills/commit in your project.

What does Commit need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Commit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).

Does Commit access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Commit safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Commit use?

Commit is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Commit use?

About 590 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Commit?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Commit: Commit (LennartHennigs/Button2, 565 stars), Prose (ploxc/modbux, 109 stars), Fantasia Final Cleanup (vishiri/fantasia-archive, 409 stars) and Sync Docs (ayutaz/piper-plus, 220 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Commit?

LennartHennigs (a GitHub user) maintains it in LennartHennigs/ESPRotary, which has 188 GitHub stars. The repository holds 4 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on July 27, 2026.
