What it does
Create Commit is an agent skill from penpot/penpot. Stage, review, and commit files following Penpot commit conventions.
Its SKILL.md is about 690 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: Penpot: The open-source design platform for Product teams that need scalable collaboration. The licence is MPL-2.0.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fc8a126. 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
Create Commit loads about 690 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21

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.

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: create-commit
Produce a git commit that follows Penpot's commit message conventions. This
skill owns the commit format, staging review, and safety checks — it does not
implement features or push.
When to Use
After code changes are complete and files need to be committed
When delegated by a workflow step (e.g. implement-plan) to handle the commit
Required Reading
Before drafting any commit, read mem:workflow/creating-commits end-to-end. It
is the authoritative source for the commit message format, the emoji menu,
subject/body limits, and the AI-assisted-by trailer. Follow it exactly.
Iron Rules (non-negotiable)
Wrap every body line at 76 characters or fewer. Count characters, do
not eyeball. Exceptions: Signed-off-by: / AI-assisted-by: trailers and
lines carrying a URL. This is the rule agents skip most often.
Subject ≤70 chars, imperative, capitalized, no trailing period.
Blank line between subject and body.
Run ./scripts/check-commit and require exit code 0. It mechanically
checks rules 1–3. A non-zero exit is a hard blocker: fix the message and
re-commit. Never report the commit as done with a failing checker.
Workflow
Stage the files specified by the calling context. Do not ask for
confirmation.
Run git diff --staged to review the content. If you see secrets (API keys,
tokens, passwords, private keys, .env values), debug prints, or anything
that does not match the stated intent, STOP and tell the user before
committing.
Draft the message following the format in the memory doc, wrapping the body
at 76 characters per line, and run:bash
git commit -m "<subject>" -m "<body>"
(or git commit -F - if the body has unusual characters).
Verify the message with the checker:bash
./scripts/check-commit
If it fails, amend the message (git commit --amend) until it passes. Do
not finish with a failing checker.
The AI-assisted-by trailer value is provided by the calling context — use
it verbatim.

Constraints
Do not push. Pushing is a separate workflow handled by the user.
Do not run git reset, git checkout, git restore, git clean, or rm.
Do not pass --author. Author identity comes from the local git config.
Do not amend a commit you did not create in this session, unless explicitly asked.
Do not bypass pre-commit hooks (--no-verify) unless explicitly asked.
Do not add untracked files that were not created in this session.
Do not skip the scripts/check-commit verification step (Iron Rule 4).
Create Commit next to the 5 skills that share the most tags, products or categories with it. Stars are the repository's; “used in” counts other GitHub owners with a copy.
Commits changes across ToolJet's root repo and its server/ee and frontend/ee submodules, writing messages from the diffs and updating submodule pointers in order.
Sets git habits for every change: short-lived branches, atomic commits with descriptive messages, clean pull requests, plus versioning, tagging and changelogs for releases.
Takes a change through a verdaccio pull request: branch, local checks, changeset, title and body, labels, CI and review rounds, and ports to other release lines.
PR flow — open a new PR for the current task branch (validates base branch, commits, issue and push state) or update an existing PR's title or description to match Penpot conventions.
Stage, review, and commit files following Penpot commit conventions. Create Commit is an agent skill from penpot/penpot. Stage, review, and commit files following Penpot commit conventions.
When should I use Create Commit?
Create Commit fits situations like: tasks that involve Commit messages.
How do I install Create Commit in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add penpot/penpot --skill create-commit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/create-commit in penpot/penpot) into .claude/skills/create-commit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Create Commit in Codex?
Run `npx skills add penpot/penpot --skill create-commit -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/create-commit in penpot/penpot) into .agents/skills/create-commit in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Create Commit in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add penpot/penpot --skill create-commit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/create-commit, .gemini/skills/create-commit, .github/skills/create-commit and .opencode/skills/create-commit in your project.
What does Create Commit need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Create Commit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Create Commit access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Create Commit safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Create Commit use?
Create Commit is published under the MPL-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Create Commit use?
About 690 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Create Commit?
