What it does

Workflow Smart Commit is an agent skill from macalbert/envilder. Analyze staged changes and create a conventional commit with an auto-generated message. Use when committing code, staging changes, or generating commit messages.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: One secret mapping for local dev, CI/CD, and runtime. Envilder resolves cloud secrets from your own vaults without SaaS middlemen, duplicated config, or .env drift. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Committing code
  • Staging changes
  • Generating commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/workflow-smart-commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run git diff --cached --stat to see what's staged.
  2. Run git diff --cached to read the full diff.
  3. Analyze the changes: identify the dominant change type and scope.
  4. Generate a conventional commit message following the format, rules, and scope heuristics.
  5. Present the commit message for user approval.
  6. Run git commit -m "" after approval.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b6a0327. 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

Workflow Smart Commit loads about 473 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~473

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.

Smart Commit

Analyze staged changes and create a conventional commit message.

When to Use

  • Creating a commit from staged changes
  • Generating a commit message that follows project conventions
  • Verifying commit message format before committing

Procedure

  1. Run git diff --cached --stat to see what's staged.
  2. Run git diff --cached to read the full diff.
  3. Analyze the changes: identify the dominant change type and scope.
  4. Generate a conventional commit message following the format, rules, and scope heuristics.
  5. Present the commit message for user approval.
  6. Run git commit -m "<message>" after approval.

Commit Message Format

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

[optional body]
Types
TypeWhen
featNew feature or capability
fixBug fix
refactorCode restructuring without behavior change
testAdding or updating tests
docsDocumentation only
choreBuild, CI, tooling, dependencies
styleFormatting (no logic change)
perfPerformance improvement
Scopes

See reference.md for the full scope table.

Rules
  • Description: imperative mood, lowercase, no period, max 72 chars
  • Body: wrap at 72 chars, explain why not what
  • If changes span multiple scopes, use the most significant one
  • Breaking changes: add ! after scope: feat(cli)!: remove --legacy flag

Constraints

  • Never commit unstaged changes
  • Never use --no-verify
  • If nothing is staged, tell the user to stage changes first
