git

A set of Git rules for recording code changes and organising branches and pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to name commits and branches, structure each commit as one logical change, format pull-request titles, and manage merged branches.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about commit messages, branch names, and when branches can be safely deleted. It also helps prevent rewriting shared history.

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.

Clone the repo

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 82 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

git 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

  • Conventional commits: type(scope): description
  • Types: feat, fix, docs, test, refactor, chore, ci, perf
  • Atomic commits: one logical change per commit
  • Branch naming: type/short-description
  • PR titles follow conventional commit format
  • Never force-push shared branches
  • Delete branches after merge

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.
