What it does

Commit is an agent skill from TypedDevs/bashunit. Stage and commit changes using conventional commits format

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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. It works with Bash and Git. The repository describes itself as: A simple yet powerfull testing library for bash scripts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

“/commit”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

Create the commit
Verify the commit was created

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f297fb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
- Grep
- Glob
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 loads about 781 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~781

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:30

Never stage files that contain secrets (`.env`, credentials, etc.).

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 with Conventional Commits

Stage and commit current changes using the conventional commits format.

IMPORTANT: This skill MUST be used for ALL commits — even when the user says "commit" without /commit. Never commit without following these steps.

Current State

Branch: !git branch --show-current
Status: !git status --short
Staged diff: !git diff --cached --stat 2>/dev/null
Unstaged diff: !git diff --stat 2>/dev/null
Recent commits: !git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS - Optional hint for the commit message (e.g., fix the snapshot comparison)

Instructions

Review the state above — understand what changed and why.
Stage files — add only the relevant changed files by name. Never use git add -A or git add .. Never stage files that contain secrets (.env, credentials, etc.).
Determine the commit type from the nature of the changes:
- feat — new feature or capability
- fix — bug fix
- docs — documentation only
- style — formatting, whitespace (no logic change)
- refactor — code restructuring (no behavior change)
- test — adding or updating tests
- chore — maintenance, tooling, config
- perf — performance improvement
Determine the scope from the area of the codebase affected:
- assert — assertions (src/assert*.sh)
- runner — test runner
- cli — CLI entry point, flags, options
- doubles — mocks, spies
- docs — documentation site
- ci — CI/CD, GitHub Actions
- Use the most specific scope that fits. Omit if changes span many areas.
Write the commit message:
- Format: <type>(<scope>): <description>
- Description: imperative mood, lowercase, no period, under 70 chars
- Focus on why, not what
- Add a body (separated by blank line) only if the why isn't obvious from the description
- Never mention AI, Claude, or automation in the message

Create the commit:

bash

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<type>(<scope>): <description>

<optional body>
EOF
)"

Verify the commit was created:
bash
```
git log --oneline -1
```

Examples

feat(assert): add assert_json_contains function
fix(runner): resolve parallel execution race condition
test(doubles): add spy verification edge cases
refactor(cli): extract option parsing into helper
docs: update installation instructions
chore(ci): upgrade shellcheck to v0.10
perf(runner): reduce subshell usage in test discovery

Rules

One logical change per commit — don't mix unrelated changes
Never use --no-verify — if hooks fail, fix the issue
Never amend unless the user explicitly asks
Always create a NEW commit — even after a hook failure
Author: use the git config identity (never commit as sandbox/default user)

Questions about Commit

What does Commit do?

Stage and commit changes using conventional commits format. An agent skill from TypedDevs/bashunit. Commit is an agent skill from TypedDevs/bashunit.

When should I use Commit?

Commit fits situations like: tasks that involve Commit messages.

How do I install Commit in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add TypedDevs/bashunit --skill commit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/commit in TypedDevs/bashunit) into .claude/skills/commit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Commit in Codex?

Run `npx skills add TypedDevs/bashunit --skill commit -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/commit in TypedDevs/bashunit) into .agents/skills/commit in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Commit in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add TypedDevs/bashunit --skill commit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/commit, .gemini/skills/commit, .github/skills/commit and .opencode/skills/commit in your project.

What does Commit need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Commit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob.

Does Commit access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Commit safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file; pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Commit use?

Commit is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Commit use?

About 781 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Commit?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Commit: Commit (alex35mil/dotfiles, 301 stars), Commit (meain/dotfiles, 285 stars), React Router Release Notes Prep (remix-run/react-router, 57k stars) and ToolJet Multi-Repo Commit (ToolJet/ToolJet, 41k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Commit?

TypedDevs (a GitHub organization) maintains it in TypedDevs/bashunit, which has 434 GitHub stars. The repository holds 11 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
