Use when cleaning up local git commit history before review or merge — squashing WIP/fixup noise, reordering, rewording, splitting mixed-concern commits, dropping noise, or fixing unsigned 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
# Tidy Commits Tidy an existing branch into a clear, reviewable commit story while preserving the intended final tree. ## Quick start For local branch history cleanup only — for ordinary new commits use the repo's normal commit workflow. Inspect state → refuse unclear or unrelated working-tree changes → record the pre-rewrite tip → plan `base..HEAD` (keep / squash / fixup / reword / reorder / split / drop) → show the plan and exact commands → rebase non-interactively → verify the final tree and tests before any push. ## Preflight - Determine the base with repo evidence: PR base, `origin/HEAD`, or the user-provided base. - Fetch first: `git fetch --prune --all`. - Require a clean, understood state. If `git status` shows a rebase, merge, cherry-pick, or mixed unrelated changes, stop and ask. - Record current state with `git log --oneline --decorate --stat <base>..HEAD`, `git diff --stat <base>...HEAD`, and nearby branch context. …

How to install
mdr add akunzai/agent-skills/tidy-commits@sha256:a8ccdc31de292353The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.4906050, 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.
