What it does

Commit is an agent skill from zirkelc/ai-retry. Create a git commit with an auto-generated conventional commit message summarizing the changes. Optionally push to remote.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 Git. The repository describes itself as: Retries and fallbacks for the AI SDK. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/commit”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for Changes
  2. Read Untracked Files
  3. Filter to Relevant Changes
  4. Draft Commit Message
  5. Stage and Commit
  6. Ask About Push

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a1ec4d. 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 loads about 643 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 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
~643

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.

Create Commit

Create a commit with an auto-generated message summarizing the relevant changes for the current task.

Repository Context

  • Working tree status: !git status
  • Unstaged changes: !git diff
  • Staged changes: !git diff --cached
  • Recent commits (style reference): !git log -5 --format='%h %s'

Step 1: Check for Changes

If there are no changes in the context above (nothing staged, unstaged, or untracked): stop and tell the user there's nothing to commit.

Step 2: Read Untracked Files

For untracked files shown in the status above, read them with the Read tool to understand their contents. Diffs already cover modified files.

Step 3: Filter to Relevant Changes

Evaluate each changed/untracked file against the apparent intent of the current task. Classify each as relevant or unrelated.

Mark a file as unrelated if it:

  • Belongs to a different feature or fix unrelated to the current task
  • Is an auto-generated artifact (lockfiles, build output, .cache/) not caused by this task
  • Appears accidentally modified (e.g. whitespace-only changes in unrelated files)

If unsure about any file, ask the user before proceeding:

"These files are also changed — are they part of this commit?

  • path/to/file1
  • path/to/file2"

Only carry the relevant files forward into Step 4.

Step 4: Draft Commit Message

Write a conventional commit message:

  • Type: feat:, fix:, chore:, refactor:, test:, docs:, etc.
  • Scope (optional): package name if changes are scoped to one package, e.g. feat(api):
  • Subject: concise summary of what changed and why (under 72 chars)
  • Body (if needed): additional context for complex changes, separated by a blank line

If multiple unrelated changes exist, suggest the user split them into separate commits.

Step 5: Stage and Commit

  1. Stage only the relevant files identified in Step 3 with git add <specific files> — never use git add -A
  2. Create the commit using a HEREDOC:
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<optional body>
EOF
)"
  1. Run git status to verify the commit succeeded.

Step 6: Ask About Push

After a successful commit, ask the user: "Push to remote?"

  • If yes: check for upstream with git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @{upstream} 2>/dev/null, then git push -u origin HEAD (no upstream) or git push (has upstream)
  • If no: done
