At a glance

Lists recent git commits linked to agent sessions, filterable by branch, repository or a result limit, showing the session id and observation count behind each one.

  • Works in 4 steps: Parse $ARGUMENTS for branch=, repo=, → Call memory_commits with the parsed… → Render reverse-chronologically: short… → …
  • Checking what an agent has committed recently on a given branch
  • SKILL.md covers Quick start, Why, Workflow and Anti-patterns, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Given filter arguments such as a branch name, a repository URL or fragment, and a limit, with a bare number read as the limit, the skill calls a memory_commits tool and renders the matches newest first: the short commit SHA, branch, authored timestamp, first line of the commit message, up to the first 8 characters of each linked session id with its observation count, and a file count when available. The default limit is 100 and the maximum is 500.

An empty result is reported as the filter matching nothing rather than as an error, with a suggestion to drop the branch or repository filter. If the tool is unavailable, a documented REST fallback exists, but every filter value must be URL-encoded with encodeURIComponent or URLSearchParams before being appended to the query string, since concatenating a raw branch name containing a question mark, ampersand or hash would corrupt it.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking what an agent has committed recently on a given branch
  • Reviewing commits tied to a specific agent session
  • Auditing recent agent-shipped work across a repository

Example prompts

  • “Show agent commits on the main branch from the last session.”
  • “What has the agent shipped in the payments repo this week?”
  • “List the 10 most recent linked commits across all branches.”

Requirements

  • The memory_commits tool from agentmemory

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS for branch=, repo=,
  2. Call memory_commits with the parsed filters.
  3. Render reverse-chronologically: short sha, branch, authored timestamp, first
  4. Empty result: tell the user the filter matched nothing and suggest dropping

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 007a1a7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Agent Commit History loads about 524 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~524

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.

name
commit-history
description
List recent git commits linked to agent sessions, optionally filtered by branch or repo. Use when the user asks "show agent commits", "what has the agent shipped", "list linked commits", or wants commits with their session context.
argument-hint
[branch=... repo=... limit=...]
user-invocable
true

The user wants a list of agent-linked commits. Filter args: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

json
memory_commits { "branch": "main", "limit": 20 }

Expected output:

text
9a1b2c3 main 2026-06-07 "rotate refresh tokens" · session 7f3a9c2 (14 obs)
b21d004 main 2026-06-05 "rate limiter audit"    · session b21d004 (9 obs)

Why

Render only the commits the tool returned, newest first. An empty result means the filter matched nothing, not that work is missing.

Workflow

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS for branch=<name>, repo=<url-or-fragment>, limit=<n>. A bare numeric token is the limit. Defaults: no branch, no repo, limit 100, max 500.
  2. Call memory_commits with the parsed filters.
  3. Render reverse-chronologically: short sha, branch, authored timestamp, first line of the message, linked session id(s) (first 8) with observation counts, and file count when files is present.
  4. Empty result: tell the user the filter matched nothing and suggest dropping the branch or repo filter.

Anti-patterns

WRONG (REST fallback): concatenate ?branch= + raw branch name, so a name with ?, &, or # corrupts the query string.

RIGHT: URL-encode every value with URLSearchParams/encodeURIComponent before appending to GET /agentmemory/commits.

Checklist

  • Filters parsed; bare number treated as limit; limit capped at 500.
  • Output is reverse-chronological.
  • Session ids and observation counts come straight from the response.
  • REST fallback URL-encodes branch, repo, and limit.

  • commit-context: drill into one commit's session.
  • recall: search the observations behind a linked session.
