# Unslop Commit ## When to Use Use this skill when you need rewrites commit messages so they sound like a careful human engineer wrote them. Strips AI/marketing slop ("comprehensive solution", "robust implementation", "leverage", "enhance", "seamlessly", "This commit..."). Keeps Conventional Commits format. Subject ≤72 chars (aim ≤50),... ## Purpose Generate or rewrite commit messages so they read like a real engineer wrote them at the end of a real day. Conventional Commits format. Direct, specific, no template English. Why over what. ## Trigger `/unslop-commit`, `/commit`, "write a commit", "commit message", "humanize this commit", "de-slop this commit". Auto-trigger when the user has staged changes and asks for a commit message. ## Rules ### Subject line - Format: `<type>(<scope>): <imperative summary>` - Scope optional. Types: `feat`, `fix`, `chore`, `refactor`, `docs`, `test`, `perf`, `build`, `ci`, `revert`. - Imperative mood: `add`, `fix`, `move`, `remove` — not `added`, `fixes`, `fixing`. - ≤50 chars when possible. Hard cap 72. - No trailing period. - Lowercase after `:` unless the project capitalizes. ### Body (only when subject can't carry it) - Add for: non-obvious "why"

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill unslop-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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
