commit

A command for creating Git commits, which are saved checkpoints of code changes, using a standard message format and an emoji.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check and stage changes, run pre-commit checks, classify the change, and create a conventional commit such as a feature, fix, test, or documentation update.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of reviewing changes, running checks, staging files, and choosing a consistent commit message.

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.

Per session 4 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 421 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 3d ago.

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

Commit

Create well-formatted commits with conventional commit messages and emojis.

Features:

  • Runs pre-commit checks by default (lint, build, generate docs)
  • Automatically stages files if none are staged
  • Uses conventional commit format with descriptive emojis
  • Suggests splitting commits for different concerns

Usage:

  • /commit - Standard commit with pre-commit checks
  • /commit --no-verify - Skip pre-commit checks if $ARGUMENTS contains --no-verify flag

Commit Types:

  • ✨ feat: New features
  • 🐛 fix: Bug fixes
  • 📝 docs: Documentation changes
  • ♻️ refactor: Code restructuring without changing functionality
  • 🎨 style: Code formatting, missing semicolons, etc.
  • ⚡️ perf: Performance improvements
  • ✅ test: Adding or correcting tests
  • 🧑‍💻 chore: Tooling, configuration, maintenance
  • 🚧 wip: Work in progress
  • 🔥 remove: Removing code or files
  • 🚑 hotfix: Critical fixes
  • 🔒 security: Security improvements

Process:

  1. Check for staged changes (!git status)
  2. If no staged changes, review and stage appropriate files
  3. Run pre-commit checks (unless --no-verify)
  4. Analyze changes to determine commit type
  5. Generate descriptive commit message
  6. Include scope if applicable: type(scope): description
  7. Add body for complex changes explaining why
  8. NOTE: Exclude Claude co-authorship footer from commits
  9. Execute commit

Best Practices:

  • Keep commits atomic and focused
  • Write in imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
  • Explain why, not just what
  • Reference issues/PRs when relevant
  • Split unrelated changes into separate commits

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository NikiforovAll/claude-code-rules (141 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 4 tokens to every session and 421 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
