What it does

Commit Splitter is an agent skill from sundial-org/skills. Split large sets of uncommitted changes into logical, well-organized commits. Use when the user has many uncommitted changes and wants structured commits, or proactively suggest when detecting a large diff that would benefit from splitting.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/extract-hunks.py`).

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Skills by Sundial.

When your agent uses it

  • The user has many uncommitted changes and wants structured commits
  • Proactively suggest when detecting a large diff that would benefit from splitting

Example prompts

  • “/commit-splitter”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Safety stash
  2. Survey and number hunks
  3. Propose commit plan with hunk numbers
  4. Execute commits
  5. extract-hunks.py reference

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a3bf9f. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Commit Splitter loads about 860 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~860

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 201 words (~860 tokens).

“Keep changes applied throughout. Do NOT re-stash between commits. Only drop the safety stash at the very end.”
