git-conventions

A set of rules for Git hooks, which are automatic checks that run around commits and pushes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define checks before committing or pushing, add branch or ticket details to messages, and validate commit formats.
Why use it?
It keeps formatting, tests, type checks, security checks, and commit messages consistent before code is shared.

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.

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-conventions 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.

    - Code formatting
    - Unit tests
    - Type checking
    - Style enforcement

prepare-commit-msg:
  description: Modifies default commit message
  triggers: After commit message creation, before editor
  blocking: false
  common_uses:
    - Add branch name
    - Insert ticket number
    - Template enforcement

commit-msg:
  description: Validates commit message format
  triggers: After commit message creation
  blocking: true
  common_uses:
    - Conventional commits check
    - Ticket reference validation
    - Length restrictions

post-commit:
  description: Runs after commit is completed
  triggers: After commit creation
  blocking: false

    - Access control
    - Policy enforcement

update:
  description: Like pre-receive but per branch
  triggers: Before each ref update
  blocking: true
  common_uses:
    - Branch-specific rules
    - Protected branch logic

post-receive:
  description: After entire push process completes
  triggers: After successful push
  blocking: false

Hook Implementation Guidelines

Script Structure

#!/bin/sh
# Hook: [hook-name]
# Purpose: [brief description]
# Blocking: [yes/no]

# 1. Environment Setup
# Set any required environment variables
export CUSTOM_VAR="value"

# 2. Configuration
MAX_FILE_SIZE="10MB"
RESTRICTED_PATHS="config/*, secrets/*"

# 3. Validation Functions

}

# 4. Main Logic
main() {
    # Core functionality
}

# 5. Execute
main "$@"

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.

git-conventions is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository diegomarino/awesomic-cursor-rules (10 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,153 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
