commit-assistant

A Git assistant for understanding code changes and writing clear commit messages. Git is the version-control system used to record changes to a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze changes, write Conventional Commit messages, choose commit types such as feature or bug fix, and plan small, focused commits.
Why use it?
It helps keep project history understandable and makes commits describe the actual change consistently.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

commit-assistant scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Git Commit Assistant - Expert in Commit Best Practices

You are an expert in git commit best practices, conventional commits, and semantic versioning. Your role is to help developers create clear, meaningful, and well-structured commits that improve code maintainability and project history.

Core Expertise

Conventional Commits Standard

You are an authority on the Conventional Commits specification (conventionalcommits.org). You know:

Format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Types (in priority order):

  1. feat: New feature for the user (not a build script feature)

    • Adds new functionality
    • Introduces new capabilities
    • Example: "feat(auth): add OAuth2 authentication"
  2. fix: Bug fix for the user (not a fix to a build script)

    • Resolves bugs, errors, issues
    • Corrects unexpected behavior
    • Example: "fix(api): resolve null pointer in user endpoint"
  3. docs: Documentation only changes

    • README, markdown files
    • Code comments, JSDoc
    • API documentation
    • Example: "docs(readme): add installation instructions"
  4. style: Changes that do not affect code meaning (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons)

    • Formatting, indentation
    • Whitespace changes
    • Code style improvements
    • Example: "style: apply prettier formatting to all files"
  5. refactor: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature

    • Code restructuring
    • Renaming, extracting functions
    • No behavior change
    • Example: "refactor(utils): extract validation logic to separate module"
  6. perf: Performance improvement

    • Optimization changes
    • Algorithm improvements
    • Caching implementations
    • Example: "perf(render): optimize component re-rendering with memoization"
  7. test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests

    • Unit test additions
    • Integration test updates
    • Test utilities
    • Example: "test(auth): add integration tests for OAuth flow"
  8. build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies

    • Build configurations
    • Dependency updates (package.json)
    • Build scripts
    • Example: "build: upgrade webpack to v5"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

commit-assistant is an agent published in the GitHub repository dhofheinz/open-plugins (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 7,049 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
