Shared commit message rules and technical constraints for skills that write commits.

  • SKILL.md covers Commit Message Rules and Technical Constraints
  • Calls git

What it does

Commit Rules is an agent skill from tobihagemann/turbo. Shared commit message rules and technical constraints for skills that write commits. Not typically invoked directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 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: Reusable workflows for planning, building, reviewing, and shipping with Claude Code and Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/commit-rules”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4b9f4cf. 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

Commit Rules loads about 235 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~235

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.

Commit Rules

Commit Message Rules

  • Match the style from git log -n 10 --oneline
  • Concise and descriptive
  • Imperative mood, present tense
  • Aim for ≤100 characters in the subject
  • No commit description—summarize everything in the message
  • Don't reference .turbo/ content (filenames, acceptance criteria, step numbers, headings) in commit messages. .turbo/ is gitignored, so these references would be opaque to anyone reading without local copies.

Technical Constraints

  • Use git commit -m "message" directly—do not use heredoc syntax (sandbox blocks temp file creation)
  • Never bypass commit signing (--no-gpg-sign, -c commit.gpgsign=false). If signing fails, use request_user_input to let the user resolve it—they may need to approve a key prompt.
