What it does

Committing Code is an agent skill from microsoft-foundry/foundry-agent-webapp. Provides commit message format and workflow for this repository. Use when creating git commits, reviewing staged changes, or generating conventional commit messages.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot enabled repo for building and deploying a web application with Entra ID authentication and integrated with Azure AI Foundry Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating git commits
  • Reviewing staged changes
  • Generating conventional commit messages

Example prompts

  • “Use the committing-code skill to provide commit message format and workflow for this repository”
  • “/committing-code”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run git diff --staged to review all staged changes
  2. Read files for context if needed; look for related issue numbers
  3. Write the commit message to COMMIT_MESSAGE.md
  4. Run git commit -F COMMIT_MESSAGE.md
  5. Delete COMMIT_MESSAGE.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f6cb362. 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

Committing Code loads about 512 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 187 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~512

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.

Type Prefixes

TypeWhen to Use
featNew feature or capability
fixBug fix
refactorCode restructuring (no behavior change)
choreDependencies, config, tooling
docsDocumentation only

Scope is optional — use when the change targets a specific area (e.g., feat(citations):, fix(auth):).

Commit Workflow

  1. Run git diff --staged to review all staged changes
  2. Read files for context if needed; look for related issue numbers
  3. Write the commit message to COMMIT_MESSAGE.md
  4. Run git commit -F COMMIT_MESSAGE.md
  5. Delete COMMIT_MESSAGE.md

Rules

  • Subject line: max 72 chars, imperative mood ("Add" not "Added")
  • Include Fixes #N or Closes #N in Summary when applicable
  • Always list all changed files in the Files Changed section
  • Omit "Testing" and "Breaking Changes" sections — not used in this repo
  • New components: document with bullet points describing key features
  • Enhanced components: explain what changed and why
  • Always include the Co-authored-by trailer as the last line of the commit body: Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Constraints

  • ❌ Don't stage files (git add) — that's the caller's job
  • ❌ Don't push (git push) — user decides when to push
  • ❌ Don't modify code — only create commits during the commit workflow
