atomic-commits
Use this skill when a working tree contains uncommitted changes that need to be split into a sequence of atomic commits — typically after a long session, an agent hand-off, a rebase resolution, or anytime `git status` shows mixed work that was not committed as it landed. The skill assumes the agent has fresh context and did not author most of the diff, so it treats the working tree as evidence to investigate before grouping. Optimizes for `git bisect`: each commit is the smallest buildable and deployable unit, and no smaller. Uses `cortex git commit` for file-level commits and `cortex git patc
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 57 stars are split between them (about 6 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 48/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Nov 4, 2026 at commit bb47af79ad3b, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
