Genshijin Commit (ultra-compressed commit messages)
Generates Conventional Commits messages with ≤50-character subjects that explain the "why" instead of restating the diff.
Dev & CodingBeginner★ 307⑂ 11AI score 10/10Last updated: Aug 7, 2026
What it does
- Reads your staged diff and drafts a
<type>(<scope>): summarymessage in Conventional Commits form. - Enforces hard limits: 50-char subject target (72 max), imperative mood, no trailing period.
- Bans filler: emoji, "this commit will…", first-person phrasing, and any AI attribution footer.
- Requires a body for breaking changes, security fixes, data migrations and reverts, plus trailers like
BREAKING CHANGE:andCloses #42. - Matches the repo's existing commit language (Japanese/English) by checking
git log.
Who it's for
- Developers standardizing team commit history on Conventional Commits.
- Projects relying on semantic-release or auto-generated changelogs.
- Anyone who wants terse commits that still preserve context for future debuggers.
Examples
- After adding a profile endpoint, ask for a commit message →
feat(api): add GET /users/:id/profilewith a body explaining the bandwidth motivation. - Renaming a public route →
feat(api)!: ...subject plus aBREAKING CHANGE:migration deadline body. - Tiny bug fix → a single line, no body:
fix(auth): correct token expiry boundary check.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin/HEAD/skills/genshijin-commit/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/genshijin-commit folder from the GitHub repo InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin into my ~/.claude/skills/genshijin-commit/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r genshijin/skills/genshijin-commit ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r genshijin/skills/genshijin-commit ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code,
git addyour changes, then ask "write a commit message". - Paste the returned code block into
git commit— the skill never stages or commits for you. - Say "normal mode" to turn the compressed style off.
