Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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. 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.

What does the dev-commit skill do?
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.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill dev-commit --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From codeaholicguy/ai-devkit, a repository with 1,572 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
