signing-git-commits SKILL.md skillA

signing-git-commits from tkhq/tk is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add tkhq/tk/signing-git-commits@git:20261104.c4c47ad

Pins git:20261104.c4c47ad in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure git to sign commits and tags with a Turnkey-held key through tk, OpenPGP via tk gpg first or SSH signing as the alternative, and verify the signature locally. Use to set up or fix commit signing for an agent; not for SSH transport to a git remote (using-ssh).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Signing git commits

Result: commits and tags signed by a key that never leaves Turnkey, which
`git verify-commit` accepts on the machine that made them.

## Reference

- [git-signing](../../docs/git-signing.md): git configuration for both signing programs.
- [gpg-signing](../../docs/gpg-signing.md): `gpg` command records and key management.
- [ssh](../../docs/ssh-agent.md): `ssh keys add` and `ssh public-key` records.
- [resources](../../docs/resources.md): `wallet create` and `policy create` records.
- [activities](../../docs/activities.md): `activity wait` on a pending wallet creation.

## Rules

- The private key never leaves Turnkey. GPG signing uses a wallet account
  under an empty wallet; SSH signing uses a Turnkey Ed25519 private key. Never
  print key material; verify by exit code and `git verify-commit`.
- Signing waits synchronously, so the policy is allow-always for the agent
  user, scoped to the exact resource: `wallet.id` for GPG, `private_key.id`
  for SSH. See [policy-patterns.md](../references/policy-patterns.md#signing-key-policies).
- Local verification is the success criterion. A hosting provider's

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tkhq/tk/signing-git-commits@sha256:ffaac0b80daf9de1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.c4c47ad, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
