Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory --skill commit-context
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads commit-context automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Security audits

Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.

Gen Agent Trust Hub PassSAFE ·The skill provides a workflow for tracing code changes back to agent sessions using git and a specialized memory tool. It includes a troubleshooting guide for scenarios where the primary tool is unavailable, recommending a REST API fallback that involves reading local secret files and making network requests to a local daemon.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

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

  1. 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.
  2. Look it up: memory_commit_lookup { "sha": "<full-sha>" }.
  3. 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.

See also

  • commit-history: list many agent-linked commits at once.
  • recall: dig deeper into the linked session's observations.

Troubleshooting

See TROUBLESHOOTING.md if memory_commit_lookup is not available.

FAQ

What does the commit-context skill do?

Trace a file, function, or line back to the agent session that produced its current commit. Use when the user asks "why is this code here", "what was the agent doing when this changed", "who wrote this", or wants context on a specific location in the codebase.

How do I install commit-context?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory --skill commit-context in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/commit-context/ (personal) or .claude/skills/commit-context/ (project).

Which AI agents can use commit-context?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is commit-context safe to install?

Security partners have reviewed it: Gen Agent Trust Hub passed; Socket passed; Snyk passed. As with any skill, read the SKILL.md and bundled scripts before installing.

Who maintains commit-context?

It is published by rohitg00 in rohitg00/agentmemory. It has 13,809 recorded installs.
