At a glance

Create Jujutsu (jj) commits — simple one-shot or split across logical groups.

  • Works in 3 steps: Understand Current State → Assess Changes → Verify
  • Explicitly requests it
  • SKILL.md covers Important Context, Steps, Branch/Bookmark Naming and Notes
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create Commit is an agent skill from meain/dotfiles. Create Jujutsu (jj) commits — simple one-shot or split across logical groups. Also suggest splitting when changes span multiple unrelated areas or when user explicitly requests it.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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. The repository describes itself as: If there is a shell, there is a way! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly requests it

Example prompts

  • “/create-commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand Current State
  2. Assess Changes
  3. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f469fb6. 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

Create Commit loads about 657 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 274 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~657

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
Create Jujutsu (jj) commits — simple one-shot or split across logical groups. Also suggest splitting when changes span multiple unrelated areas or when user explicitly requests it.

Create one or more jj commits from the working copy. If the user asked to split changes or if the diff spans clearly unrelated areas, use the split workflow. Otherwise, default to a single commit.

Prefer using a subagent as the context is unnecessary in main thread. Can return final commit message back from the subagent.

Important Context

  • Uses Jujutsu (jj), not git
  • All changes in the working copy are automatically tracked

Steps

1. Understand Current State

Run these in parallel:

bash
jj status           # See all changes
jj diff             # See detailed changes
jj log -r 'ancestors(@, 3)'  # Recent commits for style reference
2. Assess Changes

Check if changes should be a single commit or split:

  • Single commit: changes are few, logically one unit (feature, bug fix, refactor)
  • Suggest split: changes span multiple distinct areas (e.g. unrelated features, tests + code changes + config). Present the proposed groups to the user and let them decide.
  • User requested split: skip suggestion, go straight to split workflow
3a. Simple Commit
bash
jj describe -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
brief description (1-2 sentences)

Optional body if reasoning isn't obvious from the diff
EOF
)"
jj new

Guidelines:

  • Keep first line under 72 chars
  • Do NOT commit secrets
  • Do NOT push unless requested
  • Do NOT add Co-Authored-By lines unless the user asks
3b. Split into Logical Commits
  1. Group changed files into logical sets — by feature/purpose, layer (code vs tests vs config), or file relationships
  2. Present the proposed grouping to the user and wait for confirmation
  3. For N groups, do N-1 splits:
    bash
    jj split -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
    <commit message for this group>
    EOF
    )" <file1> <file2> ...
  4. After all splits, describe the remaining commit:
    bash
    jj describe -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
    <commit message for last group>
    EOF
    )"
  5. Create new working revision:
    bash
    jj new
4. Verify
bash
jj log -r 'ancestors(@, 3)'

Branch/Bookmark Naming

  • Veeam repos: prefix with meain/ (e.g. meain/earn-prod-adx-sku-downsize)
  • Other repos: follow project conventions

Notes

  • If changes within a single file need splitting, mention this limitation and suggest jj split -i done manually
  • Never use interactive split (-i flag) in scripts
  • Prefer meaningful groups over many tiny commits
