AI DevKit · Safe git commit workflow for AI coding agents. Use when the user asks to commit, prepare a commit, stage changes, create a PR-ready checkpoint, or finish work with a conventional commit while avoiding unrelated user changes.

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

# Dev Commit

Make one intentional, verified commit without sweeping in unrelated work.

## Commit Contract

1. Check repository state with `git status --short --branch`, `git diff --stat`, and `git diff`.
2. Identify the files that belong to the requested change. Treat pre-existing user edits, local config, generated artifacts, dependency caches, build outputs, and unrelated formatting churn as out of scope unless the user explicitly includes them.
3. Run appropriate validation before committing. Prefer the repo's targeted tests, lint, typecheck, build, or documented verification commands. Record skipped validation with the reason. In workspaces whose packages resolve against built artifacts, ensure install and build have run in that worktree (`npm ci`, `npm run build`) before full validation or commit hooks; a fresh worktree with stale artifacts fails hooks for environmental reasons.
4. Stage only intended paths. Prefer explicit pathspecs such as `git add path/to/file` over `git add .`.
5. Re-check with `git diff --cached --stat`, `git diff --cached`, and `git status --short`.
6. Write a concise conventional commit message: `<type>(optional-scope): <summary>`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/dev-commit@sha256:3525bd75e0baf4f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.7b711bd, 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.
