Agent Commit

Creates a git commit with meaningful message based on skill output and actual file changes.

When to Use

This skill is called automatically by

evolve_loop.py
after a content-modifying skill completes. It is not intended for manual invocation.

Input

You will receive:

  1. The name of the skill that just ran
  2. A summary or excerpt of that skill's output

Instructions

1. Check for Changes

Run

git status --porcelain
to see if there are uncommitted changes.

If there are no changes, output "No changes to commit" and stop.

2. Analyze the Changes

Run

git diff
(or
git diff --cached
if files are staged) to understand what was modified.

Focus on:

  • Which files were changed (especially content files in
    obsidian/
    )
  • The nature of the changes (new content, edits, deletions)
  • Key themes or topics affected

3. Generate Commit Message

Create a commit message with a summary line and body:

<type>(<skill>): <summary>

<body>

Summary line (required, under 72 chars):

  • <type>
    is one of:
    feat
    ,
    fix
    ,
    refine
    ,
    research
    ,
    chore
  • <skill>
    is the skill name (e.g.,
    deep-review
    ,
    condense
    ,
    expand-topic
    )
  • <summary>
    describes WHAT was done and to WHICH file(s)
  • File paths must include parent directory (e.g.,
    topics/free-will.md
    not just
    free-will.md
    )

Body (required for content changes):

  • 2-5 bullet points summarizing key changes
  • For condense: before/after word counts, what was cut vs preserved
  • For deep-review: what issues were found and fixed
  • For expand-topic: key themes covered
  • For research: sources consulted, main findings

Good examples:

refine(condense): reduce topics/free-will.md from 9567 to 2985 words

- Cut quantum Zeno redundancy (7+ mentions → 1 via link)
- Removed extended sections on altered states, process philosophy
- Preserved core phenomenology arguments and Mary's Room
- Kept tenet connections and cross-links intact
refine(deep-review): improve clarity in concepts/qualia.md

- Fixed circular definition in opening paragraph
- Added concrete examples for inverted spectrum argument
- Strengthened connection to hard problem article

Bad examples:

  • auto(deep-review): Automated execution
    (too vague, no body)
  • Updated files
    (no context)
  • refine(condense): reduce free-will.md
    (missing parent directory - is it topics/ or concepts?)

4. Create the Commit

Stage all changes and commit with agent authorship. Use a HEREDOC for the multi-line message:

git add -A
git commit --author "unfinishablemap.org Agent <agent@unfinishablemap.org>" -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<summary line>

- bullet point 1
- bullet point 2
EOF
)"

5. Output the Result

Output the commit hash and message so the calling system can log it.

Important

  • Keep commit messages under 72 characters for the summary line
  • Always include parent directory in file paths (e.g.,
    topics/free-will.md
    ,
    concepts/qualia.md
    ,
    research/notes.md
    )
  • Focus on the "what" and "which file" - the skill name already tells us "how"
  • If multiple files changed, mention the primary one and note others exist
  • Never include time estimates or subjective assessments in commit messages
