commit-gate SKILL.md skillA

commit-gate from arbiterforge/codearbiter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/commit-gate@git:20261102.27016cc

Pins git:20261102.27016cc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create a verified local Git commit when committing changes is requested. Not for explaining commit history, drafting a message only, or postponing a commit. Applies every commit gate and never implies a push or PR.

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

# commit-gate

The only permitted path to a commit. Bypassing it is a hard-rule violation. Routed to when the user invokes `/commit` or any equivalent instruction to persist staged changes.

No command arguments are required; inspect current Git state. Test-only requests use the
recorded invocation in `tech-stack.md` without entering this committing procedure. PR
readiness belongs to the existing PR workflow; an informational or message-only request
must not reach staging, commit, or this procedure's writing close.

## Pre-flight

Read these, or STOP and surface the gap — never guess a command:

- `<project-root>/.codearbiter/tech-stack.md` — test, lint, and secrets-scan invocations. Stop if missing; do not guess. In an HTML-knowledge repository the same declarations come from `"$PY" "<plugin-root>/hooks/knowledge.py" commands` (see `<plugin-root>/includes/knowledge.md`); stop if the command you need is not declared. A declared command's `run_state` is what was reported, not proof it passes.
- `<plugin-root>/includes/verification-boundary.md` — the required split between focused local proof and exhaustive exact-head hosted CI.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/commit-gate@sha256:dd4bb65451f53ca4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.27016cc, 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.
