scan-commit

A command that examines all pending changes in a Git repository and groups them into separate commits. Git is the version-control system used to track code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use /scan-commit to inspect modified, new, and staged files, preview a commit plan with --dry-run, then stage and create Conventional Commits.
Why use it?
It helps when one work session contains several unrelated changes that should not be placed in a single commit.

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

scan-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 313 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scan Commit

Scan the entire working tree for pending changes — unstaged modifications, untracked files, and (with a warning) already-staged changes — analyze them into logical groups at the hunk level, then stage and commit each group with well-structured messages following Conventional Commits v1.0.0.

This command extends the /smart-commit workflow by adding the scanning and staging phases. It handles the common case where a developer has been working on multiple concerns and hasn't staged anything yet.

Usage

/scan-commit [--dry-run]

Arguments:

  • --dry-run: Only show the proposed commit plan without executing

Workflow

Step 1: Scan All Changes

# Unstaged modifications to tracked files
git diff --no-color

# Untracked new files
git status --porcelain

# Already-staged changes (warn if present)
git diff --cached --stat

Collect three categories of changes:

Category Command Description
Modified (unstaged) git diff --no-color Changes to tracked files not yet staged
Untracked git status --porcelain New files git doesn't know about
Staged git diff --cached --stat Already staged (warn, include in analysis)

If no changes exist at all, stop and inform the user.

If there are already-staged changes, warn the user. Include them in the analysis but note they are already staged — they will be committed as-is (no hunk splitting on already-staged content).

Step 2: Read and Understand All Changes

For each changed file, understand:

  • What was added, modified, or deleted
  • How the change relates to other files
  • For files with multiple logical changes (e.g., a bug fix AND a refactor in the same file), identify each hunk's purpose

Use git diff --no-color output to analyze at the hunk level. Each hunk starts with @@ ... @@ and represents a contiguous block of change. Determine which hunks belong together logically.

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.

scan-commit is a command published in the GitHub repository magic3007/dotfiles (10 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,527 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
