git-conventional-commits

git-conventional-commits is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aigengame/cli-agentic-workflow. It costs 35 tokens per session (889 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing Git commit messages that follow Conventional Commits, a standard format used by tools to understand the type and scope of changes. It also covers naming branches and commits.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose commit types, scopes, subjects, bodies, and footers for completed features, fixes, refactors, and other repository changes.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty when naming commits and makes the project history easier for people and release tools to read. Consistent messages can support automatic changelogs and version updates.

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-conventional-commits 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill enables the code agent to formulate precise, standard-compliant Git commit messages and branch names based on the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 specification. Adhering to this standard allows automated tools to parse commit histories, bump semantic versions (Major/Minor/Patch) accurately, and generate clean changelogs.

Requirements & Triggers

  • Trigger: Whenever the agent completes a task, implements a feature, fixes an issue, or refactors code and is ready to execute git commit.
  • Pre-requisite: Understand the scope of changes and know the associated GitHub Issue number (if any).

Guidelines & Rules

1. Commit Message Structure

Every commit message must strictly follow this structural pattern:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>
  • (Required): Must be one of the structural keywords defining the change intent.
  • (Optional): A noun describing the affected section of the codebase enclosed in parentheses (e.g., auth, api, parser).
  • (Required): A succinct description of the change. Use imperative mood ("add" not "added"). No period . at the end.

2. Allowed Commit Types ( )

Type Definition SemVer Impact
feat A new feature implemented in the codebase Minor
fix A bug fix implemented in the codebase Patch
docs Documentation only changes (e.g., markdown files) None
style Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc.) None
refactor A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature None
perf A code change that improves performance None
test Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests None
build Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies None
ci Changes to CI configuration files and scripts None
chore Other changes that don't modify src or test files (e.g., .gitignore) None

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.
