git

Rules for writing Git commit messages in a standard format such as feat for a feature or fix for a bug.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when naming commits for features, fixes, maintenance, restructuring, documentation, formatting, or tests.
Why use it?
They make a project's history easier to scan and show what kind of change each commit contains.

Cursor rule

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add rules/gokulkrishh/.cursor/git
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/gokulkrishh/.cursor
Per session 5 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 370 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 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.

git is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository gokulkrishh/.cursor (3 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session and 370 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. 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.
