What it does
Commit Convention is an agent skill from modiqo/skillspec. Use when writing commit messages, creating PR titles, pushing commits, or creating PRs — ensures conventional commit format and that formatting/linting pass before any push
Its SKILL.md is about 400 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. The repository describes itself as: SkillSpec makes agent skills followable, testable, and provable with Doctor risk reports, guided imports, structured contracts, and alignment proof. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Writing commit messages
- Creating PR titles
- Pushing commits
- Creating PRs — ensures conventional commit format and that formatting/linting pass before any push
Example prompts
- “/commit-convention”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4d9ab5. 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
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
conventionalcommits.org
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 Convention loads about 398 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Commit Convention
This project uses Conventional Commits. PR titles are linted by CI and become the squash-merge commit message on main.
Pre-push Gate
Before pushing commits or creating a PR, run both checks and confirm they pass:
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warningsIf either fails, fix the issues and amend/re-commit before pushing. Only skip these checks if the plan explicitly allows for it.
Format
<type>[optional scope]: <description>Allowed Types
- feat — new feature
- fix — bug fix
- docs — documentation only
- style — formatting, no code change
- refactor — neither fix nor feature
- perf — performance improvement
- test — adding or updating tests
- build — build system or dependencies
- ci — CI configuration
- chore — maintenance tasks
- revert — revert a previous commit
Rules
- Subject must NOT start with an uppercase letter
- Scope is optional and freeform (e.g.,
feat(adapter): ...) - Breaking changes: use
!after type (e.g.,feat!: ...) or addBREAKING CHANGE:footer
Examples
feat: add semantic search for skills
