util.git-commit-message

util.git-commit-message is a command for GitHub Copilot from stefaniuk/loadout. It costs 11 tokens per session (2,437 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A change-summary command that proposes a branch name, a Conventional Commit message, and a commit description from the current diff. Conventional Commits use a standard format such as `fix(auth): handle expired sessions`.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing to name a branch and prepare copy-ready commit text based on staged or modified files.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of turning code changes into clear, consistent commit information and avoids describing unrelated or already-committed changes.

Command for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot chat mode or prompt.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash .github/prompts/util.git-commit-message.sh.

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

util.git-commit-message 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mandatory preparation:

  • The script in §A detects and fetches the repository's actual base branch (not assumed to be main) locally if missing. This base branch is used only for branch-naming context and tone, never as commit evidence.
  • Read language/tooling instructions that apply to the files actually staged or modified in the working tree (for example python.instructions.md, typescript.instructions.md, makefile.instructions.md, etc.). Do not load instructions for files that are only in already-committed history - they are out of scope.

Goal 🎯

Produce three copy-ready outputs that describe the next commit the user is about to make:

  1. A Branch Name: if already on a feature branch, report whether it is suitable (and suggest an improvement if not); if on the detected base branch (see §A) or detached HEAD, propose a new branch using scope-short-description (e.g. auth-add-sso-callback).
  2. A single-line conventional Commit Message (type(scope): summary) describing the dominant change in the commit being prepared.
  3. A commit body with an overview and highlights capturing intent and rationale (when evidenced), not just a restatement of file changes.

These outputs are the primary narrative source for pull-request descriptions: util.gh-pr-content.prompt.md reads git log <base>..HEAD (commit subjects + bodies) as its first evidence tier. Write every commit so it stands alone and aggregates cleanly with its siblings into a PR description; Step 3 maps each body part to the PR section it feeds.

Scope policy (non-negotiable) 🎯

The commit message describes the next commit, whose content is only the staged changes. This section describes evidence precedence only, it does not instruct you to run anything. The single sanctioned command runs once in §A; everything named below is a description of a block already present in the resulting report.

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.
