GIT COMMITS / Functional Software, Inc. dba Sentry
Sentry commit message
Drafts one conventional commit on a feature branch, and stops if the branch is still main or master.
“Use for every request to commit changes or draft a commit message. Creates Sentry-style conventional commits with issue references.”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- The skill stops a commit that is still on main or master unless the user explicitly asked for that, and it asks for one reviewable change per commit.
- Footer keywords are not interchangeable: Fixes is defined as closing an issue on merge, and Refs is defined as a link that does not close it.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- skills/commit/SKILL.md
- LICENSE
- README.md
- vercel-labs/skills@7407f3893ad4dceab546ac002c3ef806e4000c73:README.md
Our findings
- Before committing it checks the current branch and stops if that branch is still main or master after a feature branch was required.
- The message must not carry customer or organisation names, emails, support-ticket contents, secrets, or other personal data. The file gives no network call.
- Fixes and Refs are different footers. The skill does not push, and it does not turn a multi-purpose diff into one commit on purpose.
- The definition distinguishes Fixes from Refs, excludes PII from messages and checks the branch before committing.
- The message rules reserve ref for refactoring without behavior changes, style for formatting without logic changes, and meta for repository metadata; breaking changes use a BREAKING CHANGE footer.
Not established by this review
- The resource was not executed and its tools were not called.
- git commit was not run.
- Not executed: it was not installed or run.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.
03 / PUT IT TO WORK
Add a skill to your workflow.
DOCUMENTED COMMAND
npx skills add getsentry/skills/skills/commit --skill commit Run in your terminal to choose your AI tools, project or global scope, and installation method. This short command follows the current upstream version; the review covers the revision shown above.
Optional: install the reviewed revision
Keeps the original source and installer version where recorded, while leaving your AI tools and installation scope for you to choose.
npx skills@1.7.1 add https://github.com/getsentry/skills/tree/d18b7aa8ba878354e5c348310230e652f7690f9c/skills/commit --skill commit - Install only the commit skill from the reviewed source directory with the explicit selector.
- Choose your AI tools and project or global scope. The reviewed source and installer version remain available in the optional command; this entry has source review, not an executed installation receipt.
- Inspect the target branch and intended changes before authorizing a local commit.
- For manual installation instead, download the complete bundle from https://undominated.ai/resources/skills/getsentry-commit/bundle.zip and extract it into a new directory. It holds SKILL.md unchanged at revision d18b7aa8, the upstream licence and an attribution file.
- Place the extracted directory in your host's documented skills directory, named commit. Keep SKILL.md and the licence together.
Before you start
- Node.js and npm
- A git checkout you are allowed to commit

# Sentry Commit Messages
## Before Committing
```bash
git branch --show-current
```
If the branch is `main` or `master`, create a feature branch unless the user
explicitly requested a direct commit. Re-check the branch and stop if it is
still `main` or `master`.
Commit one coherent, independently reviewable change at a time.
## Message Rules
Use:
```text
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<optional body>
<optional footer>
```
- Scope is optional. Add `!` before `:` for a breaking change.
- Write the subject in imperative, present tense; capitalize it, omit the
trailing period, and keep it at 70 characters or fewer.
- Keep every line under 100 characters.
- Use the body only when useful. Explain what changed and why, including
previous behavior or motivation when it helps.
- Never include customer or organization names, user emails, support ticket
contents, secrets, or PII. Describe the technical symptom instead.
Allowed types: `feat`, `fix`, `ref`, `perf`, `docs`, `test`, `build`,
`ci`, `chore`, `style`, `meta`, `license`, and `revert`.
Use `ref` for refactoring without behavior changes, `style` for formatting
without logic changes, and `meta` for repository metadata.
## Footers
- `Fixes <issue>` closes an issue when merged.
- `Refs <issue>` links an issue without closing it.
- For breaking changes, add `BREAKING CHANGE: <impact>`.
## Creating the Commit
Use separate `-m` arguments for paragraphs and footers. Never put literal
`\n` sequences in a commit message or open an interactive editor.
```bash
git commit -m "fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint" \
-m "Return 404 when the user API finds a deleted account." \
-m "Fixes SENTRY-5678"
```
The download contains SKILL.md. Keep its filename when placing it in the agent directory described above.
