commit

A command that stages and commits the current Git changes. Git is a tool for tracking changes to code and creating saved versions called commits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the status and diff, stage selected files, and create a concise commit message following the stated rules.
Why use it?
It turns the current work into a focused commit while checking what changed and avoiding accidental inclusion of unrelated files.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 5 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 258 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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

Stage and commit the current changes.

Steps

  1. Run git status — understand what changed
  2. Run git diff — read the actual changes
  3. Stage relevant files by name (never git add -A blindly)
  4. Write the commit message following the rules below
  5. Commit

Commit message rules

  • One sentence, imperative mood ("Add X", "Fix Y", "Remove Z")
  • Focus on the why or what, not the mechanics
  • No Co-Authored-By lines
  • No AI attribution ("Generated by", "Claude", etc.)
  • No trailing blank lines or extra metadata

Format

Subject only when self-explanatory:

Add rate limiting to the auth endpoint

Subject + body when context is non-obvious:

Switch session store from memory to Redis

Memory store resets on every deploy, logging out all active users.

What NOT to do

  • No "Updated files" or "Made changes"
  • No listing every file touched
  • No referencing the task/ticket in the subject (put it in body if needed)
  • No co-author or AI attribution lines
Changes

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.
