The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

7 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 168 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    Distinctive

    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
  • could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
  1. Distinctive:

    NEVER update the git config

    line 23
  2. Very specific:

    NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify, --no-gpg-sign, etc) unless the user explicitly requests it

    line 24
  3. Very specific:

    Do not commit files that likely contain secrets (.env, credentials.json, etc).

    line 26
  4. Distinctive:

    If there are no changes to commit (i.e., no untracked files and no modifications), do not create an empty commit

    line 27
  5. Distinctive:

    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

    line 28
  6. Distinctive:

    Look at the recent commits to follow this repository's commit message style

    line 35
  7. Distinctive:

    Ensure the message accurately reflects the changes and their purpose (i.e.

    line 37

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 168 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

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.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
