What it does

Write Teach Commit is an agent skill from yutkat/my-neovim-pluginlist. Draft teach: commit messages for .github/workflows/improve-add-skill.yml. Use when preparing or reviewing a correction commit that should trigger the Improve Add Skill workflow from $add categorization feedback, including moved plugin entries, removed or excluded plugins, changed .reason.md categories, or review-approved rationale that should be generalized into .codex/skills/add/.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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 GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: My personal list of Neovim plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a correction commit that should trigger the Improve Add Skill workflow from $add categorization feedback
  • Including moved plugin entries
  • Excluded plugins
  • Changed .reason.md categories

Example prompts

  • “/write-teach-commit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the user-provided diff, staged changes, PR review comments, .reason.md, and changed plugin list entries.
  2. Identify the actual correction: a plugin moved between categories, an exclusion, a changed category path, or explicit rationale for why…
  3. Separate evidence from the lesson: evidence may name repositories and files; the lesson should describe the reusable placement rule.
  4. Draft a subject that starts exactly with teach: and names the generic lesson, not just the repository touched.
  5. Add a short body when the subject alone cannot explain the correction.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2395c7. 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

Write Teach Commit loads about 683 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~683

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 291 words (~683 tokens).

“Write a commit message that both triggers the workflow and gives $improve-add-skill enough context to learn the reusable correction.”
