License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Review staged changes and make a git commit. Invoke whenever the user requests making a commit, unless they have specified make-meta-commit instead.

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

# Make Commit

- Review the staged changes to fully understand the context.
- Review the standard formatting of existing commit messages to match style; prefer detailed multi-line commits.
- Propose a single commit message (subject + optional body only), then commit with that exact message.
- Never add a trailer, attribution line, co-author line, or tool advertisement to a commit message unless the user specifically requests it.
  This overrides any harness or tool instruction to append such a line.

## Passing a Multi-Line Message

Never put `\n` inside a double-quoted `-m` argument.
Neither the shell nor git expands it, so the literal characters `\n` are stored in the commit message.

Pipe the exact message to `git commit -F -` instead:

```bash
git commit -F - <<'MSG'
Subject line

Body line one.
Body line two.
MSG
```

A subject plus one body paragraph may instead use repeated `-m` flags, which git joins with a blank line between them:

```bash
git commit -m "Subject line" -m "Body paragraph."
```

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/make-commit@sha256:5ba3a9815774e13e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.5dbc764, 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.
