Use when the user asks to commit changes, stage their work, write commit messages, or split the working tree into logical commits.
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
# kanso-commit Splits the working tree into logically atomic commits and writes messages that answer *why* rather than *what*. Detects and matches the repo's existing convention. The principles from `kanso-principles` apply. Messages earn their place the same way code does. ## The atomic unit An atomic commit is one logical change. Not one line, not one file — one thought. The test: can the commit be described in a single short imperative sentence without using "and"? Each atomic commit must be: - **Independently revertable.** Reverting it doesn't cause collateral damage. - **Independently cherry-pickable.** It can move to another branch cleanly. - **Stable.** Tests pass (or at least don't newly fail) at this commit. - **Single-concern.** Refactor and feature are separate commits, always. Formatting and logic are separate commits. Over-atomising is a real failure mode. A three-line bug fix does not need three commits. ## Before doing anything 1. **Check the status.** `!git status --short` and `!git diff --stat` to see what's staged and unstaged. …

How to install
mdr add blakecyze/skills/kanso-commit@sha256:2557f948fefa8318The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.d29810e, 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.
