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

commit-message-generation-rule 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to commit-message-generation-rule — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Commit Message Guidelines:

  • Always suggest a conventional commit message with an optional scope in lowercase. Follow this structure: [optional scope]: [optional body][optional footer(s)]

Where:

  • type: One of the following:

    • build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (e.g., Maven, npm)
    • chore: Other changes that don't modify src or test files
    • ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (e.g., Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
    • docs: Documentation only changes
    • feat: A new feature
    • fix: A bug fix
    • perf: A code change that improves performance
    • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
    • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
    • test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
  • scope (optional): A noun describing a section of the codebase (e.g., fluxcd, deployment).

  • description: A brief summary of the change in present tense.

  • body (optional): A more detailed explanation of the change.

  • footer (optional): One or more footers in the following format:

    • BREAKING CHANGE: (for breaking changes)
    • <issue_tracker_id>: (e.g., Jira-123: Fixed bug in authentication)

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.
