Write Datapages commit messages, including the breaking-change marker and the BREAKING block.

  • Writing a commit message
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • A changelog entry

What it does

Git Commits is an agent skill from romshark/datapages. Write Datapages commit messages, including the breaking-change marker and the BREAKING block. Use when writing a commit message or a changelog entry.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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: A Datastar Go web frontend framework. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing a commit message
  • A changelog entry

Example prompts

  • “/git-commits”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87d5a44. 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.

    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

Git Commits loads about 960 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~960

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
Write Datapages commit messages, including the breaking-change marker and the BREAKING block. Use when writing a commit message or a changelog entry.
  • Respect writing.

  • Title: type: Summary, imperative, capitalized after the prefix, 50 characters or less, no trailing period.

  • Types: feat, fix, perf, refactor, test, chore, ci, docs. Suffix the type with ! for a breaking change.

  • Mark a change as breaking when it incompatibly changes an application-facing API. Changes to runtime/ APIs are not breaking: they are generator-facing, and datapages gen updates generated callers. Treat the root package, modules/ and generated APIs such as href and action as public APIs.

  • Wrap the description at 72 characters.

  • Imperative mood in the title, never past tense: Add cache, not Added cache or Adds cache. The description uses present tense and describes the code as it is now: Move foo to package buzz, not foo is now in package buzz. No first person, no we.

  • Don't paraphrase the code changes, the diff already shows them. The description is for what the diff can't show: why, scope, what was left out. Leave it empty when the title says everything.

  • Don't list the files touched, don't restate the title in longer words and don't close with a summary of the commit.

  • A commit that bundles several changes lists them as bullets, each with its own conventional prefix. List only the main changes. Tests, docs and call-site updates that come with a change are part of it, not separate bullets:

    feat: Add funcFoo <- keep, this is the change
    docs: Add docs for funcFoo <- drop
    test: Add tests for funcFoo <- drop
    refactor: Use funcFoo everywhere <- drop
    test: Add benchmark to test funcFoo against funcBar <- drop
  • A breaking change ends with a BREAKING: block. It is the migration instruction: name every removed or renamed symbol as old -> new, and say what the caller has to do, one step per line. A caller must be able to migrate from this block alone, without reading the diff. Say plainly when a step is automatic (datapages gen regenerates it) and when it is manual. Every line is a step the caller takes. Never list what did not change: href is unchanged is a step to do nothing. When a step could be read as reaching further than it does, narrow the step instead of adding a line: write EvSubjPref<Event> -> EvPrefix<Event>, the prefix constants only, not ... unchanged on a line of its own.

  • A perf: commit quotes the measurement as before -> after.

  • No tool attribution or Co-Authored-By trailers.

Bad:

feat: added caching to the generator and updated some files

This commit adds a cache to the generator so that it is faster. I changed
internal/gen/gen.go, internal/gen/cache.go and internal/cmd/gen.go to add the
cache and wire it up. The cache stores parsed packages in a map keyed by import
path. Overall this makes the generator faster and cleaner.

Co-Authored-By: Some Tool <tool@example.com>

Good:

perf: Cache parsed packages in the generator

Every `datapages gen` run reparsed all dependencies. The cache keys on
import path and file mod time, which is safe because the loader already
rejects stale build artifacts.

Watch mode still reparses on every event: invalidation for edits inside
the module isn't implemented yet.

40ms -> 12ms on example/classifieds.

Good, breaking change:

refactor!: Move HTTP core to runtime packages

BREAKING:
- `datapages.NewCore` -> `runtime/httpserve.NewCore`.
- `datapages.CoreConfig` -> `runtime/httpserve.Config`.
- Generated code: run `datapages gen`, no hand edits needed.
- Hand-written callers: import `github.com/romshark/datapages/runtime/httpserve`
  and update the two names above.
