Automated summary

Creates a git commit with a well-crafted, auto-generated message based on staged changes.

Strengths

  • Automatically generates concise commit messages following best practices
  • Analyzes staged changes to produce context-aware summaries
  • Ensures the first line stays under 72 characters
  • Displays the commit hash for tracking

Limitations

  • Requires user to have staged changes or accept staging all
  • Generated message may not perfectly capture complex refactoring intent
  • Limited to a single 72-character first line, no body included
When to use it

Use this skill when you want to quickly commit your changes with a meaningful message.

When not to use it

Avoid using it when you need highly specific or multi-paragraph commit messages, or when you want manual control over staging.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill only uses standard git commands (status, diff, add, commit) in a typical development workflow. No destructive or exfiltrating actions are instructed; the worst case is 'git add -A' which is suggested only after asking the user and does not pose a significant risk.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Stage all and commit
Stage all my changes and commit them with an auto-generated message.
Commit staged changes
Commit my staged changes.

name: commit description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "commit changes", "create a commit", "git commit", or wants to save their staged changes with a meaningful message.

/commit

Create a git commit with a well-crafted message.

Instructions

  1. Run git status and git diff --staged to see changes
  2. If nothing is staged, ask user what to stage or stage all with git add -A
  3. Analyze the changes and create a commit message that:
    • Starts with a verb (Add, Fix, Update, Remove, Refactor)
    • Summarizes the "why" not just the "what"
    • Keeps first line under 72 characters
  4. Commit with the message
  5. Show the commit hash when done

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j/download' --output '.skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j'

openskills read 'create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/create-git-commit-mmk3ni1j/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
