What it does

Git Commit is an agent skill from Terry-Mao/AICodingFlow. Create focused, reviewable commits from the current diff without including unrelated files.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/commit-examples.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: Setup a AI Coding Flow. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/git-commit”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7703e16. 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

Git Commit loads about 328 tokens when it runs, and up to ~930 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~328
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~930

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
Create focused, reviewable commits from the current diff without including unrelated files.

git-commit

Use this when the user asks to commit current changes or organize them into commits.

Inspect and group

Review status, unstaged/staged diffs, and their stats. Check repository commit conventions only when they are not already clear from the task or nearby files. Split only genuinely separate concerns (for example behavior versus refactor, dependency churn, generated output, formatting-only changes, or unrelated docs/tests). Keep directly related tests with the change.

Stage only intended paths, using git add -p when a file contains mixed concerns. Do not bulk-stage unrelated work.

Message and commit

Unless repository conventions say otherwise, use:

text
type(scope): summary

Use feat, fix, refactor, perf, docs, test, build, ci, or chore. Add Fixes #123 only for explicit closing intent or a clearly completed narrow issue; use Refs #123 for partial or ambiguous work. Never invent issue IDs.

Run normal git commit -m so hooks execute. If a hook fails, stop and report; do not use --no-verify, push, rewrite history, or force operations unless explicitly requested. Report the final hash and whether hooks ran.
