conventional-commits

A guide for writing Git commit messages in the Conventional Commits format, such as `fix(scope): description`.

In plain words
What is it for?
Drafting concise messages for features, fixes, documentation, refactoring, tests, maintenance, performance, and continuous-integration changes.
Why use it?
It makes staged changes easier to identify and keeps commit history consistent and machine-readable.

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

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 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.

What it actually says

Conventional Commits

What I do

  • Capture the essence of the change in the git staging area
  • Draft a commit message from the staged changes

When to use me

Use this when you want to commit the code changes that have been staged. Ask clarifying questions if some changes are unclear to you.

Format

type(scope): description

Types

  • feat: new feature
  • fix: bug fix
  • docs: documentation
  • style: change style of code
  • refactor: code restructuring
  • test: adding or changing tests
  • chore: maintenance
  • perf: improving performance
  • ci: changing or adding CI steps

Guardrails

  • A commit message contains ONLY plain text - no markdown, no code blocks, no formatting
  • A commit message NEVER contains triple backticks (```) or any markdown code block syntax
  • A commit message NEVER contains any emojis or special formatting markers that suggest AI generation
  • A commit message is written in an imperative mood (e.g. "add" not "added")
  • A commit message must appear 100% human-written with no hints of AI involvement
  • A commit message MUST be title-only unless the change complexity absolutely requires additional context. When in doubt, use title-only.

When to Add a Body

Add a body ONLY when:

  • The title cannot explain WHY the change was made
  • Multiple independent changes are included in one commit
  • Breaking changes need detailed explanation
  • Complex migration steps are required

DO NOT add a body for:

  • Simple refactors that the title clearly describes
  • Single-file changes with obvious intent
  • Documentation updates with clear scope

Common Mistakes to Avoid

WRONG: "feat(api): add user authentication Adds login functionality for users"

  • Title already says it all, body is redundant

RIGHT: "feat(api): add user authentication"

  • Clear, concise, no redundant body

Examples

  • chore(deps): update dependencies
  • fix(api): resolve authentication bug
  • refactor(database): optimize query performance
Changes

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.

conventional-commits is a skill published in the GitHub repository Awish021/opencode (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 447 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
