commit-context

Trace a file, function, or line through Git history to the agent session linked to its commit. It presents recorded commit details, session summaries, and important observations to help explain the change.

OriginalShow the original description

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.

See how to install

Good for

  • Investigating why a particular line changed
  • Finding the agent session behind a function change
  • Checking a file's latest commit and author
  • Reviewing recorded context before taking over code

SKILL.md (original)

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

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.
