How do I install the Commit skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add fradser/commit-3 in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Commit skill do?

Creates atomic conventional git commits using git-agent. This skill should be used when the user requests "commit", "git commit", "create commit", or wants to commit changes using AI atomic commits. It is listed under AI & ML on SkillMD.

Is Commit safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: docs only. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Commit?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Commit free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

File contents

CRITICAL:

Do NOT run git status, git diff, git log, or any other read commands before git-agent commit.
Execute git-agent commit directly. git-agent (v0.7.0+) automatically detects active model attribution from session environment variables (PI_MODEL, etc.).

Execution

Derive a concise one-sentence intent from the conversation or $ARGUMENTS.
Pass --co-author "<co-author>" if explicitly specified in $ARGUMENTS or user instructions.
Run primary commit command:
```
git-agent commit --intent "<intent>"
```
If specific files are already staged, pass --no-stage:
```
git-agent commit --no-stage --intent "<intent>"
```

On auth error (401), retry with --free:

git-agent commit --free --intent "<intent>"

Fallback (if git-agent binary is not found): report the error and ask the user to install git-agent or run git commands manually.

CLI Reference: ../../references/cli.md

Deterministic messages: When an exact commit message is required (e.g. version bump chore: bump version to 0.11.0), pass the full conventional message as the --intent value. The intent is used as the commit subject verbatim.
