The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈6

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to create a commit.

    line 8
  2. Very specific:

    Create a git commit with a single-line message in this exact format: username: date: Short description in one line

    line 13
  3. Distinctive:

    Run only on direct user request to commit (examples: "commit", "create commit", "$commiter").

    line 17
  4. Distinctive:

    Do not run automatically after code changes.

    line 18
  5. Distinctive:

    Must fit one line.

    line 28
  6. Distinctive:

    Never amend existing commits unless the user explicitly asks.

    line 79
  7. Distinctive:

    Never use destructive git commands.

    line 80
  8. Very specific:

    If pre-commit is configured, do not skip it.

    line 81

≈ “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.

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

Commiter (Repo Local Skill)

Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to create a commit.

Scope boundary: this skill must not run make test. Project-specific testing belongs to the applicable testing skill.

Goal

Create a git commit with a single-line message in this exact format: username: date: Short description in one line

Trigger Rules

  • Run only on direct user request to commit (examples: "commit", "create commit", "$commiter").
  • Do not run automatically after code changes.
  • On explicit commit request, do not ask file-selection questions; commit all current working tree changes.

Commit Message Rules

  • username:
    • First choice: git config user.name
    • Fallback: whoami
  • date: use YYYY-MM-DD format.
  • Short description in one line:
    • Imperative, concise, no trailing period.
    • Must fit one line.

Workflow

  1. Confirm there are staged or unstaged changes:
git status --short
  1. Stage all current changes (tracked + untracked) without asking follow-up questions:
git add -A
  1. Build commit message using required format.
  2. Pre-commit checks (required when configured):
  • Detect whether pre-commit is configured:
    • .pre-commit-config.yaml exists, or
    • .git/hooks/pre-commit exists.
  • If configured, run:
pre-commit run --all-files
  • If checks fail:
    • inspect errors and apply fixes in code/config (lint, formatting, imports, typing, etc.)
    • re-run pre-commit run --all-files
    • repeat until it passes or a real blocker is reached
  • Re-stage any files changed by auto-fixes:
git add <files>

4.5) If the current work mixes documentation cleanup with functional DB/API changes, prefer a separate commit boundary when practical. If the mix is intentional, note that in the final report and capture any deferred process concern in tech-debt/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md before committing.

  1. Commit:
git commit -m "<username>: <YYYY-MM-DD>: <short one-line description>"
  1. Push current branch to default remote:
git push
  1. Report:
  • committed files
  • final commit hash
  • final commit message
  • push result

Notes

  • Never amend existing commits unless the user explicitly asks.
  • Never use destructive git commands.
  • If pre-commit is configured, do not skip it.

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.
