Use this skill when the user wants to make a Git commit or split changes into more than one commit. Also use it when the user types "/commit" or asks for a conventional commit. The skill examines the diff, stages the related files, writes a Conventional Commits message, and runs git commit. Do not use it when the user wants only a commit message and no commit. Do not use it to push, open a pull request, rebase, or change the commit history.

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

# Git Commit with Conventional Commits

Make Git commits that follow the [Conventional Commits 1.0.0](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) specification. Get the type, the scope, and the summary from the diff.

## Message Format

```text
<type>(<scope>): <summary>

<body>

<footer>
```

- The scope, the body, and the footer are optional. Without a scope, write `<type>: <summary>`.
- Write the summary in the imperative mood: "add", not "added" or "adds".
- Keep the first line at 72 characters or less. Do not put a period at the end.
- In the body, tell what changed and why.
- Write each footer as `Token: value` or `Token #value`, for example `Refs: #456` or `Closes #123`. Conventional Commits accepts the two forms, but Git reads only `Token: value` as a trailer. In a token, use `-` in place of a space.

## Types

Conventional Commits defines only `feat` and `fix`. The other types come from the Angular convention ([`@commitlint/config-conventional`](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/tree/master/%40commitlint/config-conventional)). If the repository has its own list, use that list.

| Type       | Use it for                                     |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/git-commit@sha256:2ba71a0d5ba0add9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.5406429, 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.
