trace-commit

A command that writes a Conventional Commit message from the latest Codetape trace. Conventional Commits use labels such as feat, fix, or docs so changes are easier to understand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a change to turn the newest trace log into a formatted commit message, optionally stage all files, and commit them.
Why use it?
It removes the need to reconstruct a commit summary from the work you just did. It also asks for confirmation before creating the Git commit.

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

trace-commit 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.

What it actually says

Generate a well-structured commit message based on the most recent trace log.

Instructions

  1. Find the most recent trace in .codetape/traces/ (by filename date)
  2. Read the trace log
  3. Generate a conventional commit message:
    • Type: feat (new feature), fix (bug fix), refactor, docs, chore, perf, test
    • Scope: primary component name from affected components
    • Description: concise summary derived from trace summary
    • Body: list key changes as bullet points
    • Footer: note breaking changes if impact is High
  4. Format:
    {type}({scope}): {description}
    
    - {change 1}
    - {change 2}
    
    BREAKING CHANGE: {if applicable}
    
  5. Display the generated message
  6. Ask: "Commit with this message? (y/n)"
  7. If yes, run git add -A && git commit -m "{message}"

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.
