commit

A workflow for finishing a change to an agent skill by saving it in Git and closing its related GitHub issue. Git is a tool for tracking file changes, while a GitHub issue records a task or problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after updating skill files to check the changes, create a traceable commit, and close the matching in-progress GitHub issue.
Why use it?
It keeps the code change and the task record connected, so others can see what was changed and which issue it completed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 23 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 953 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

commit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. commit vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Stage changed skill files, write a commit message tied to the in-progress issue, and close the issue with a summary. The single action that closes the loop between a GitHub issue and a SKILL.md change.

State Dependencies

Source Location Read Write Description
GitHub Issues Current repo Yes Yes Close the in-progress issue
Git working tree ./ Yes Yes Stage and commit skill files

Prerequisites

  • gh CLI authenticated
  • Git repo with at least one commit (not bare)
  • Work is in-progress (a claimed issue exists)

Process

Step 1: Find the In-Progress Issue

gh issue list --label "status:in-progress" --state open --json number,title,body,labels --limit 5

If an issue number was passed as $ARGUMENTS, use that instead.

If multiple in-progress issues, ask which one this commit closes.

Step 2: Check for Changes

git status --short

Surface all modified, added, or deleted files. Flag anything that is NOT a SKILL.md or agent configuration file (CLAUDE.md, template.yaml) — confirm the user wants to include it.

If there are no changes at all: report "Nothing to commit. Did /adjust-playbook or /create-playbook run yet?"

Step 3: Stage Files

Stage all changed agent files:

git add .claude/skills/
git add CLAUDE.md  # if modified

If other files were modified, confirm before staging.

Show the staged diff summary:

git diff --cached --stat

Step 4: Compose Commit Message

Derive the commit message from the issue:

  • If the issue has a skill:* label: [$SKILL_NAME]: $SHORT_DESCRIPTION (closes #$NUMBER)
  • If project-level: [agent]: $SHORT_DESCRIPTION (closes #$NUMBER)
  • Short description = condensed version of issue title (lowercase, imperative)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

commit is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (11 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 953 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
