Need help deploying atomic-commits?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/kevinashworth-atomic-commits
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

# Atomic Commits Every task follows this rhythm: **plan, then repeat (implement one thing → verify → commit).** ## 1. Plan Before coding, break the task into atomic steps. List them. Each step is one logical change — one concern, one purpose. The codebase must work after each step. ## 2. Implement → Verify → Commit (repeat for each step) Do one step. Verify it works. Commit it. Move to the next. **One commit = one logical change.** Not two things. Not "a feature and its tests." Not "a rename and a behavior change." One thing. Stage only the files that belong to that change. Never `--no-verify`. ## 3. Stay honest - If a step should split further, split it. - If tests break from your change, fix them in the same commit — the unit isn't done until it works. - Never amend a previous atomic commit to sneak in more changes. Make a new commit. ## Additional Resources ### Reference Files For detailed guidance, consult: - **`references/conventional-commit-message-instructions.md`** - commit message instructions

Rather not set it up yourself?
Chalk Labs scopes, builds and runs agents for your team: the task audit, the eval harness, the integrations and the weekly ops report. Fixed scope, priced before we start.
