What it does

Mz Commit is an agent skill from MaterializeInc/materialize. Trigger: "commit", "prepare commit", "create PR", "push", "open pull request", or mentions committing, pre-commit checks, pull requests in Materialize. Also "ship it", "ready to merge". For code review use mz-pr-review.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Pull requests. It works with PostgreSQL. The repository describes itself as: The live data layer for apps and AI agents. Create up-to-the-second views into your business, just using SQL.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “commit”
  • “prepare commit”
  • “create PR”
  • “/mz-commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. bin/fmt (formats all .rs, .py, and .proto files; takes no file arguments)
  2. bin/lint (can error if tools are missing; use bin/ci-builder run stable bin/lint as an alternative)
  3. cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f0437. 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:

    • cargo
    • 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

Mz Commit loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,221 words (~2,286 tokens).

“Read doc/developer/guide-changes.md for the full conventions on submitting and reviewing changes.”
