commit: Reusable for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Git Commit

Context

Gather this context before committing:

Current git status: git status
Current git diff (staged and unstaged): git diff HEAD
Current branch: git branch --show-current
Recent commits: git log --oneline -10

Git Safety Protocol

NEVER update the git config
NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify, --no-gpg-sign, etc) unless the user explicitly requests it
CRITICAL: ALWAYS create NEW commits. NEVER use git commit --amend, unless the user explicitly requests it
Do not commit files that likely contain secrets (.env, credentials.json, etc). Warn the user if they specifically request to commit those files
If there are no changes to commit (i.e., no untracked files and no modifications), do not create an empty commit
Never use git commands with the -i flag (like git rebase -i or git add -i) since they require interactive input which is not supported

Task

Based on the changes, create a single git commit:

Analyze all staged changes and draft a commit message:
- Look at the recent commits to follow this repository's commit message style
- Summarize the nature of the changes (new feature, enhancement, bug fix, refactoring, test, docs, etc.)
- Ensure the message accurately reflects the changes and their purpose (i.e. "add" means a wholly new feature, "update" means an enhancement to an existing feature, "fix" means a bug fix, etc.)
- Draft a concise (1-2 sentences) commit message that focuses on the "why" rather than the "what"
Stage relevant files and create the commit using HEREDOC syntax:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Commit message here.
EOF
)"

Stage and create the commit in a single message. Do not do anything else.

# Git Commit

## Context

Gather this context before committing:
- Current git status: `git status`
- Current git diff (staged and unstaged): `git diff HEAD`
- Current branch: `git branch --show-current`
- Recent commits: `git log --oneline -10`

## Git Safety Protocol

- NEVER update the git config
- NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify, --no-gpg-sign, etc) unless the user explicitly requests it
- CRITICAL: ALWAYS create NEW commits. NEVER use git commit --amend, unless the user explicitly requests it
- Do not commit files that likely contain secrets (.env, credentials.json, etc). Warn the user if they specifically request to commit those files
- If there are no changes to commit (i.e., no untracked files and no modifications), do not create an empty commit
- Never use git commands with the -i flag (like git rebase -i or git add -i) since they require interactive input which is not supported

## Task

Based on the changes, create a single git commit:

1. Analyze all staged changes and draft a commit message:
   - Look at the recent commits to follow this repository's commit message style
   - Summarize the nature of the changes (new feature, enhancement, bug fix, refactoring, test, docs, etc.)
   - Ensure the message accurately reflects the changes and their purpose (i.e. "add" means a wholly new feature, "update" means an enhancement to an existing feature, "fix" means a bug fix, etc.)
   - Draft a concise (1-2 sentences) commit message that focuses on the "why" rather than the "what"

2. Stage relevant files and create the commit using HEREDOC syntax:
```
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Commit message here.
EOF
)"
```

Stage and create the commit in a single message. Do not do anything else.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
The skill says 'Analyze all staged changes' but later instructs to 'Stage relevant files' without defining what 'relevant' means, which could lead to unintended staging or omission of changes.
Quality score needs review

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
