What it does
Commit Msg is an agent skill from VixenLights/Vixen. Generate professional commit messages from unstaged or staged changes following Chris Beams' seven rules. Use when the user requests a commit message or when completing an ExecPlan milestone that changes repository files. Triggers include: - English: "create commit message", "generate commit message", "write commit" - Context: User has staged changes (git add) and needs a commit message
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 and Project management. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Vixen is a lighting sequencer for creating animated light shows.
When your agent uses it
- The user requests a commit message
- Completing an ExecPlan milestone that changes repository files
- Include: - English: create commit message
- Generate commit message
Example prompts
- “create commit message”
- “generate commit message”
- “write commit”
- “/commit-msg”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Determine Commit Scope
- Inspect the Selected Scope
- Generate Commit Message
- Present to User in format to be pasted into commit message
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ad8b2f. 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 Msg loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 459 words (~1,222 tokens).
“Generate professional commit messages from staged or unstaged changes following Chris Beams' seven rules for commit messages.”
