commits

commits is a cursor rule for Cursor from benchflow-ai/agents. It costs 425 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for writing commit messages, which are short records describing changes made to a code repository. It defines labels such as fix, feat, docs, and ref for different kinds of changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing commits, choosing the correct message prefix, describing the intent of a change, and checking for critical errors or breaking interface changes.
Why use it?
It makes the project's history easier to scan and asks reviewers to catch serious problems before a change is committed.

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

commits 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.

What it actually says

Use the following format for commit messages:

  • ci: description for all testing related changes, and changes to github workflows etc.
  • dev: description for development related changes, including updates to the cursor or claude rules
  • fix(component): description for bug fixes
  • feat(component): description for new features
  • enh(component): description for enhancements
  • docs: description for documentation
  • ref(component): description for refactoring
  • chore: description for maintenance tasks (pre-commit hooks, imports, etc.)

Generally, the description should focus on the intent of the changes, not the implementation details.

Style notes

Do NOT add "Co-authored-by: Cursor" lines to the commit message or to the trailer.

Reviewing

While preparing the commit message, flag critical issues that should be addressed before committing. Do not flag style issues or minor changes.

Flag the following:

  • Anything that might raise an unhandled exception in an unintentional manner
  • Anything that looks logically wrong or inconsistent
  • Breaking changes to protocols/interfaces without corresponding updates to implementations

Flag the following style issue as minor:

  • Imports not at top of file

Components

Use these component names in parentheses for fix, feat, enh, and ref commits:

  • models - Changes to model interfaces (litellm, anthropic, openai, portkey, openrouter)
  • agents - Changes to agent classes (default, interactive, multimodal)
  • env - Changes to environments (docker, local, singularity, bubblewrap, swerex)
  • config - Changes to configuration files or config handling
  • run - Changes to run scripts (mini, hello_world)
  • benchmarks - Changes to benchmark runners (swebench, inspector)
  • cli - Changes to CLI argument handling
  • deps - Dependency updates

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.
