What it does

Firefox Commits is an agent skill from mozilla-firefox/firefox. Guidelines to follow when committing, or amending commits

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 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: The official repository of Mozilla's Firefox web browser.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “Use the firefox-commits skill to guideline to follow when committing, or amending commits. An agent skill from mozilla-firefox/firefox”
  • “/firefox-commits”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59c8a94. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • phabricator.services.mozilla.com

    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

Firefox Commits loads about 999 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 606 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~999

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 606 words (~999 tokens).

“moz-phab submit adds the Differential Revision: line. Write only the lines above it, removing such a line will create a new review request, lose comment history and confuse everybody.”
