# Codex Commit Agent > Run the repository commit workflow when the user explicitly asks to commit changes or create a save-point commit. Upload changed binary assets to Hugging Face and update assets.lock before committing, run required quality checks, and commit with an imperative English message without duplicate approval. - Skill: `julian-adv/codex-commit-agent` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 3 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add julian-adv/codex-commit-agent` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/julian-adv/codex-commit-agent/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: julian-adv (https://skillmd.com/u/julian-adv) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/julian-adv/codex-commit-agent --- # Codex Commit Agent ## Overview Publish changed binary assets, validate changed areas, and commit the intended files with the updated asset lock. Treat an explicit user request to commit as authorization for `git commit`; do not ask again solely to approve an assistant-drafted message. A statement that work is complete is not authorization unless it also asks for a commit. Per the repository owner's instruction, a commit request also authorizes the Hugging Face upload needed for that commit's assets. Do not ask for separate upload approval within that scope. ## Workflow 1. Inspect current changes. - Run `git status --short`. - Build the changed-file set from staged, unstaged, and untracked files. - Also inspect relevant git-ignored binary assets and source files against the paths and SHA-256 hashes in `assets.lock`; Git status alone cannot detect their changes. - If neither Git changes nor asset changes exist, stop and report that there is nothing to commit. 2. Upload changed assets before committing. - When the task adds, modifies, moves, or removes HF-managed assets, complete their upload and update `assets.lock` before `git commit`. Include source assets under `assets/`, excluding `.blend1` backups, as well as game binaries under `client/public/`. - Read `tools/push-assets.sh` and review the upload scope. It replaces remote `client/**` and `assets/**` trees; a partial local checkout must not delete unrelated remote assets. A locally missing file is not an intentional deletion. - Use `bash tools/push-assets.sh` only with a complete, reviewed local asset tree. Otherwise upload only the intended changes, preserve unrelated remote files and lock entries, and regenerate the affected lock entries. - Pin the exact successfully uploaded HF revision and record each changed file's SHA-256 hash in `assets.lock`. Verify the files at that revision match the intended contents; do not pin a revision where the assets are absent. - Stage `assets.lock` with the code, data, and documentation referencing those assets. Keep git-ignored binaries on HF; do not force-add them to Git. - If upload, authentication, or remote verification fails, stop before committing and report the failure. Do not leave required assets local-only and call the commit complete. - Skip upload when there are no HF-managed asset changes. 3. Detect which project areas need checks. - If any file is under `client/`, run client checks in `client/`. - If files are under `tools//`, run checks in each changed `tools//`. - If changes touch any Rust workspace member (`server/`, `shared/`, `terrain/`, `agent-client/`, `tools/terrain-gen/`), `data-src/`, `.cargo/`, Rust source files, Cargo manifests/lockfiles, or Rust toolchain configuration, run Rust checks from the repository root. 4. Run quality checks. - Preferred path: run `./.codex/skills/codex-commit-agent/scripts/validate.sh`. - Equivalent manual checks: - `client/` and each changed `tools//`: `npm run format`, `npm run lint`, `npm run check` - Rust workspace: `cargo fmt --all`, `cargo check --workspace --locked`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings` - Clippy is required for Rust-related changes, including test targets. Use the CI command above; do not substitute `cargo check` or relax warning enforcement. - If a check fails, stop and report the failing command and actionable errors. 5. Review commit contents. - Run `git status --short` again. - Review `git diff --staged` (or `git diff` if nothing is staged yet). - Stage intended files with `git add ...` (avoid staging unrelated changes). 6. Draft and commit. - Draft a concise English commit message in imperative present tense. - Keep the title under 72 characters. - Use a user-provided message when one was supplied; otherwise choose the message from the staged diff. - Once required asset publication and checks pass and the staged files match the requested scope, run `git commit -m ""` immediately. - If commit fails, report the exact failure and next action. - Push Git commits only when the user also requested a push, publish, or remote workflow. Required HF asset uploads happen before the commit as described above. ## Commit Message Rules - Use English only. - Start with a verb: `Add`, `Fix`, `Update`, `Refactor`, `Remove`, `Improve`. - Describe what changed clearly and specifically. - Keep it scoped to staged files. ## Failure Handling - Never commit when required asset uploads, remote verification, or quality checks fail. - Ask before committing only when the staged scope is ambiguous, includes unrelated changes, or the user explicitly requested message review. - If formatting updates files, include those changes in the reviewed/staged set before commit.
