At a glance
Commit already-staged changes with a message matching existing commit style.
- Works in 2 steps: Run /commit-rules Skill → Commit

- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Commit Staged is an agent skill from tobihagemann/turbo. Commit already-staged changes with a message matching existing commit style. Use when the user asks to "commit staged changes" or "commit what's staged".
Its SKILL.md is about 130 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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
- The user asks to commit staged changes
- Commit whats staged
Example prompts
- “commit staged changes”
- “commit what”
- “/commit-staged”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
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 Staged loads about 133 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 51 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 tobihagemann/turbo at commit 4b9f4cf, republished under its MIT licence (© tobihagemann). 51 words, ~133 tokens.
