  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by nimbalyst on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Git Commit AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/nimbalyst/nimbalyst/tree/main/packages/extensions/developer/claude-plugin/skills/git-commit
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nimbalyst/nimbalyst.git /tmp/nimbalyst
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/nimbalyst/packages/extensions/developer/claude-plugin/skills/git-commit .claude/skills/git-commit
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Git Commit in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Git Commit on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Git Commit is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Git Commit Workflow in Nimbalyst

This skill is for the "Commit with AI" feature which provides an interactive commit proposal widget.

IMPORTANT: Only use this when:

  • The user clicks the "Commit with AI" button (you'll see a message asking you to use developer_git_commit_proposal)
  • The user explicitly asks for "smart commit" or "commit with AI"

Do NOT use this for:

  • Generic commit requests like "commit this", "commit the changes", "make a commit"
  • For those, use standard git commands: git add and git commit

Required Steps

  1. Check if file context is already provided in the prompt When the user clicks "Commit with AI", the prompt includes a pre-fetched list of session-edited files with uncommitted changes. If you see a file list in the prompt (lines like - path/to/file.ts (modified)), skip step 2 and go directly to step 3 using those files.

  2. Get session-edited files (fallback only) Only if no file list was provided in the prompt: Call mcp__nimbalyst__get_session_edited_files to get ALL files you edited during this AI session, then cross-reference with git status.

  3. Propose the commit Call mcp__nimbalyst__developer_git_commit_proposal with:

    • filesToStage: ALL session-edited files that have changes (do not cherry-pick a subset)
    • commitMessage: A well-crafted commit message following the guidelines below
    • reasoning: Explanation of why these files were selected

Commit Message Guidelines

  • Start with type prefix: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:, chore:
  • Focus on IMPACT and WHY, not implementation details
  • Title describes user-visible outcome or bug fixed
  • Use bullet points (dash prefix) only for multiple distinct changes
  • Keep lines under 72 characters
  • No emojis
  • Lead with problem solved or capability added, not technique used

Good vs Bad Examples

BAD: "feat: add pre-edit tagging for non-agentic AI providers" GOOD: "fix: OpenAI/LMStudio diffs now persist across app restarts"

BAD: "refactor: extract helper function for validation" GOOD: "fix: prevent crash when user input is empty"

Important

  • Do NOT run git add or git commit commands directly
  • Do NOT add "Co-Authored-By" or attribution lines
  • Do NOT add marketing taglines or links
  • Include ALL session-edited files that have changes - the user can deselect files in the widget if needed
  • The widget allows users to review, edit the message, and select/deselect files before confirming

Frequently asked questions

What does the Git Commit AI skill do?

Create git commits using Nimbalyst's interactive commit proposal widget. ONLY use when the user explicitly clicks "Commit with AI" button or asks for "smart commit". For regular commit requests, use standard git commands instead.

Why use Git Commit on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Git Commit is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Git Commit in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/nimbalyst/nimbalyst/tree/main/packages/extensions/developer/claude-plugin/skills/git-commit. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Git Commit?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Git Commit?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Git Commit with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Git Commit AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by nimbalyst under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
