What it does

Git Commit is an agent skill from theowenyoung/home. Summarize the current Git working tree and create a straightforward non-interactive commit. Use when Codex is asked to quickly commit the current work, commit everything currently changed, prepare a concise commit message from the diff, or avoid extra confirmation and commit splitting unless there is a real safety issue.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. It works with Git.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex is asked to quickly commit the current work
  • Commit everything currently changed
  • Prepare a concise commit message from the diff
  • Avoid extra confirmation and commit splitting unless there is a real safety issue

Example prompts

  • “/git-commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the repository state.
  2. Default to the current working tree.
  3. Stop only for real blockers.
  4. Keep verification lightweight by default.
  5. Stage directly.
  6. Write a concise message from the diff.
  7. Create the commit non-interactively.
  8. Report the result.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bf3ea9. 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 906 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~906

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningTells the agent its actions are pre-authorized / not to stop for confirmationSKILL.md:58
    - Do not ask for confirmation just because the change touches multiple files or both code and tests.

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 486 words (~906 tokens).

“Commit the current work with minimal ceremony. Default to summarizing the present working tree, staging it, and creating one clean commit.”
