Skill1 starsChanged 45 days agoMITView on GitHub
Write conventional commit messages from the staged diff, offline. Use when the user asks to commit work, wants a conventional commit message, or asks what type of change the working tree contains. No API key, no cloud, no diff leaves the machine.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 20
Run commitsmith and review the suggestion (type, scope, subject, confidence, evidence).
- Very specific: line 22
Commit with --commit, or copy the message.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Commitsmith
Reads the staged diff and suggests a conventional commit — type, scope, subject, body, and breaking-change footer — using local heuristics. This tool is CLI-only inside the family: it reads the repository directly, so there is no MCP server.
Workflow
- Stage the intended files with
git add. - Run
commitsmithand review the suggestion (type, scope, subject, confidence, evidence). - Adjust with
--typeor--scopewhen you know better than the heuristics. - Commit with
--commit, or copy the message.
CLI
npx -y commitsmith # suggest from staged changes
npx -y commitsmith --json # machine-readable candidates
npx -y commitsmith --type fix --scope parser
npx -y commitsmith --commit # commit with the top suggestionTips
- New exported API becomes
feat; removed exports add!and aBREAKING CHANGE:footer. - Whitespace-only edits become
style; deletions-only becomeschore. - The tool never commits unless
--commitis passed.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
