git

A Git rule for creating commits and writing commit messages. Git records code changes, while a commit is a saved set of those changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating conventional commits with imperative English subjects, package-based grouping, dependency ordering, and short body lines.
Why use it?
It makes commit preparation consistent by checking staged files, grouping package changes, and applying a fixed message format.

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

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

Commit creation

  • When asked to "commit":
    1. Check staged files using git --no-pager diff --staged and create a commit message using only the staged files.
      • Once the message is ready, directly propose the commit command to the user.
    2. If no files are staged, check the differences using git status, then stage files sequentially based on the following commit granularity before committing:
      • Separate commits by package.
      • Commit dependencies first (if dependency order is unclear, check using npx lerna list --graph).
  • If the OS, application settings, or context suggest a language other than English is being used, provide a translation and explanation of the commit message in that language immediately before proposing the commit command to the user.

Commit message format

  • You must write in English
  • You must use the imperative mood
  • You must use conventional commits
    • You must use the following types:
      • feat
      • fix
      • docs
      • refactor
      • test
      • chore
  • The message body's lines must not be longer than 100 characters
  • The subject must not be sentence-case, start-case, pascal-case, upper-case

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.
