Skill instructions

Rendered from the published SKILL.md, 58 lines.

The user wants commit context for: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

git blame -L 40,52 src/auth/refresh.ts   # -> SHA 9a1b2c3d

memory_commit_lookup { "sha": "9a1b2c3d4e5f60718293a4b5c6d7e8f901234567" }

Expected output:

9a1b2c3 on main by dev: "rotate refresh tokens"
Linked session 7f3a9c2 "Auth refresh rework", 14 obs.

Why

Report only what git and the lookup return. When the lookup gives commit: null, the commit predates session linking; do not invent intent.

Workflow

Find the SHA: git blame -L <start>,<end> <file> for a line range; git log -L :<function>:<file> for a function; git log -n 1 -- <file> for a bare path.
Look it up: memory_commit_lookup { "sha": "<full-sha>" }.
Present the commit (sha, short sha, branch, author, message), the linked session(s) (id, project, started/ended, observation count, summary), and the importance >= 7 observations via memory_recall when available.

Anti-patterns

WRONG: lookup returns { "commit": null }, you narrate "the agent was refactoring auth" from the diff alone.

RIGHT: "This commit predates session linking, so there is no recorded agent session. From git show: it changed token rotation in refresh.ts."

Checklist

SHA came from git blame/log, not a guess.
commit: null reported as "predates linking", no fabricated session.
Session details quote the lookup response verbatim.
No intent claimed beyond what observations state.

Troubleshooting

See TROUBLESHOOTING.md if memory_commit_lookup is not available.

commit-history
List recent git commits linked to agent sessions, optionally filtered by branch or repo. Use when the user asks "show agent commits", "what has the agent shipped", "list linked commits", or wants commits with their session context.

git-commit
Use this skill when the user wants to make a Git commit or split changes into more than one commit. Also use it when the user types "/commit" or asks for a conventional commit. The skill examines the diff, stages the related files, writes a Conventional Commits message, and runs git commit. Do not use it when the user wants only a commit message and no commit. Do not use it to push, open a pull request, rebase, or change the commit history.

recap
Summarize the last N agent sessions for the current project, grouped by date, with highlight observations per session. Use when the user asks "recap", "what have we been doing", "today", "this week", or wants a rollup of recent work.

cargo-context
Read and write the workspace GTM knowledge base — the git-backed repository of markdown describing ICPs, personas, plays, proof points, objections, competitors, and signals — plus its runtime sandbox and typed knowledge graph. Triggers: "document our ICP", "write up this persona", "what is our positioning", "add a battlecard", "capture this objection", "what do we know about <segment>", "update our context", "what is in the context repo", "who do we sell to". Skip when: discovering who actually buys from you by analyzing won/lost data — that is cargo-gtm (this skill writes the conclusion down, it does not derive it); storing structured records rather than prose — use cargo-storage; attaching documents to an agent for RAG — use cargo-content.
