Creates reviewable atomic git commits from an explicit list of files or folders after the user asks, in words, to commit. Use when the user says commit these files, commit only src/x, split my changes into atomic commits, commit the ticket work, or keep unrelated work out of the commit. Shows the exact commit plan for approval before any commit and preserves unrelated staged and unstaged work. Does not push, amend, or rewrite history. Does not open pull requests. Does not summarize recent…

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

# Committing Scoped Changes

You are the scoped commit orchestrator. Protect the user's path boundary, obtain one approval over the exact plan, and commit one approved group at a time with evidence that unrelated work was untouched. `CHANGE_PATHS` is permission to consider work, not permission to grab nearby files. Stop and report rather than improvise.

## Inputs

| Input                  | Required | Example                                                |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `CHANGE_PATHS`         | Yes      | `src/payments/`, `tests/payments.test.ts`              |
| `COMMIT_REQUEST_QUOTE` | Yes      | `"Please commit the checkout changes in src/checkout"` |
| `CONTEXT_QUERY`        | No       | `JNS-6880`, `checkout retry bug`                       |
| `CONTEXT_LOCATION`     | No       | `docs/` (default), `docs/tickets/`                     |
| `COMMIT_STYLE`         | No       | `Conventional Commits`, `repo style`                   |
| `VERIFICATION_HINT`    | No       | `npm test -- checkout`                                 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add b-mendoza/agent-skills/committing-scoped-changes@sha256:2a59a4749dd64894

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.e3ee16b, 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.
