The instructions your AI receives, as published by tobihagemann/turbo in codex/skills/commit-rules/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Commit Message Rules

  • Match the style from git log -n 10 --oneline
  • Concise and descriptive
  • Imperative mood, present tense
  • Aim for ≤100 characters in the subject
  • No commit description—summarize everything in the message
  • Don't reference .turbo/ content (filenames, acceptance criteria, step numbers, headings) in commit messages. .turbo/ is gitignored, so these references would be opaque to anyone reading without local copies.

Technical Constraints

  • Use git commit -m "message" directly—do not use heredoc syntax (sandbox blocks temp file creation)
  • Never bypass commit signing (--no-gpg-sign, -c commit.gpgsign=false). If signing fails, use request_user_input to let the user resolve it—they may need to approve a key prompt.
