Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cockroachdb/cockroach at d30c905fff.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

commit-helper

What it does

This skill assists AI agents in managing version control workflows specifically for CockroachDB projects. It automates the process of generating, formatting, and submitting code commits to ensure consistency with project standards.

When to use it

  • You need to prepare a pull request with multiple files and want to generate a single, cohesive commit message.
  • You are working on a CockroachDB repository and require adherence to specific commit message conventions.
  • You want to streamline the development workflow by reducing manual steps in the git commit process.

Key capabilities

  • Generates commit messages based on file changes within a CockroachDB context.
  • Formats output to align with project-specific guidelines.
  • Facilitates direct integration into version control workflows for automated submission.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a commit message for the changes made in src/main.go and pkg/utilities/helper.go."
  • "Format my recent code modifications according to CockroachDB commit standards."
  • "Create a commit entry summarizing the bug fixes applied to the database connection module."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your working directory contains only relevant changes before invoking this skill, as it analyzes file diffs to generate accurate summaries. This tool is optimized for CockroachDB repositories; using it on unrelated codebases may result in generic or misaligned commit messages.
