git-commit

git-commit is a cursor rule for Cursor from kyungseo/ai-workflow-harness. It costs 18 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for preparing a Git commit, where a commit is a saved set of code changes. It checks the complete working-tree state, reviews staged changes, and requires approval before committing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a user asks for a Git commit, commit message, or commit command.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of committing the wrong files or skipping validation. It also makes proposed status-tracker updates and the commit message explicit before the change is saved.

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-commit 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.

Git Commit Rules

Pre-Commit Process

If the current directory is not a git repository (bootstrap initial state), report the steps below as Not Applicable and proceed with document/file validation only.

Before committing, always run in this order:

  1. git status — confirm full working tree state (unstaged + untracked)
  2. git add <files> — stage intended files
  3. git status — verify nothing is missed before committing
  4. git diff --cached — review staged content

NEVER use git diff --cached alone as the only pre-commit check. It does not show unstaged modifications or untracked files.

Commit Approval

MUST:

  • Commit only after validation is complete or the remaining risk is explicitly accepted.
  • Before committing, follow the Approval Matrix: report validation result, diff summary, and proposed commit message, then wait for explicit user approval.
  • Before committing or opening a PR, report STATUS Finalization: whether docs/STATUS.md update is needed, why, and the required Approval Matrix proposal if needed.
  • Before committing or opening a PR, report Tracking Finalization: whether backlog/Work/DR tracker updates are needed, why, and which tracker files changed if any.
  • If docs/STATUS.md needs to change before commit, provide the Approval Matrix state-change proposal and wait for explicit user approval before editing it. Phase/focus/recent decision changes still require a full STATUS Update Proposal.
  • If not committing after a completed task, record the reason and remaining risk in the session summary.

Commit Message

MUST use Conventional Commits with Bilingual Rules (per docs/decisions/DR-007-language-policy.md):

Type prefix — always in English: feat, fix, docs, chore, refactor, test, style, ci, config, perf, build, revert

Subject line — Korean primary; English for technical terms and identifiers.

  • Use Korean verbs and sentence endings.
  • Keep English for proper nouns, tool names, file paths, IDs (e.g., DR-007, STATUS.md).
  • Example: docs: [Korean subject using DR-007 and Bilingual Rules identifiers]

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.
