What it does

Commit is an agent skill from mitsuhiko/agent-stuff. Read this skill before making git commits

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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: These are commands I use with agents, mostly Claude. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Infer from the prompt if the user provided specific file paths/globs and/or additional instructions.
  2. Review git status and git diff to understand the current changes (limit to argument-specified files if provided).
  3. (Optional) Run git log -n 50 --pretty=format:%s to see commonly used scopes.
  4. If there are ambiguous extra files, ask the user for clarification before committing.
  5. Stage only the intended files (all changes if no files specified).
  6. Run git commit -m "" (and -m "" if needed).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0865c84. 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 439 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 12 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~12
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~439

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
Read this skill before making git commits

Create a git commit for the current changes using a concise Conventional Commits-style subject.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <summary>

  • type REQUIRED. Use feat for new features, fix for bug fixes. Other common types: docs, refactor, chore, test, perf.
  • scope OPTIONAL. Short noun in parentheses for the affected area (e.g., api, parser, ui).
  • summary REQUIRED. Short, imperative, <= 72 chars, no trailing period.

Notes

  • Body is OPTIONAL. If needed, add a blank line after the subject and write short paragraphs.
  • Do NOT include breaking-change markers or footers.
  • Do NOT add sign-offs (no Signed-off-by).
  • Only commit; do NOT push.
  • If it is unclear whether a file should be included, ask the user which files to commit.
  • Treat any caller-provided arguments as additional commit guidance. Common patterns:
    • Freeform instructions should influence scope, summary, and body.
    • File paths or globs should limit which files to commit. If files are specified, only stage/commit those unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.
    • If arguments combine files and instructions, honor both.

Steps

  1. Infer from the prompt if the user provided specific file paths/globs and/or additional instructions.
  2. Review git status and git diff to understand the current changes (limit to argument-specified files if provided).
  3. (Optional) Run git log -n 50 --pretty=format:%s to see commonly used scopes.
  4. If there are ambiguous extra files, ask the user for clarification before committing.
  5. Stage only the intended files (all changes if no files specified).
  6. Run git commit -m "<subject>" (and -m "<body>" if needed).
