What it does
Commit Message is an agent skill from s-kostyaev/ellama. Use this skill when writing a concise commit message from a diff.
Its SKILL.md is about 160 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: Work with local and cloud LLMs from Emacs. The licence is GPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- Writing a concise commit message from a diff
- Tasks that involve Commit messages
Example prompts
- “/commit-message”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b6e71f4. 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
Commit Message loads about 160 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 57 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.
SKILL.md
The full file from s-kostyaev/ellama at commit b6e71f4, republished under its GPL-3.0 licence (© s-kostyaev). 57 words, ~160 tokens.
