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-storyteller 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit Message Storyteller

Transforms raw git diffs and change descriptions into clear, story-driven commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification. Instead of "update file.js", you get messages that communicate intent, context, and impact.

When to Use This Skill

  • User says "write a commit message", "help me commit", or "generate a commit"
  • User pastes a git diff or describes code changes
  • User says "what should I commit this as?" or "summarize my diff"
  • User wants better commit history for their team or open-source project
  • User is preparing a pull request and wants meaningful commit messages

Prerequisites

Have at least one of the following ready:

  • Output from git diff or git diff --staged
  • A description of what you changed and why
  • A list of modified files

How It Works

Step 1: Gather the Change Context

Ask the user (or infer from the diff) for:

  1. What changed — files, functions, logic affected
  2. Why it changed — bug fix, new feature, refactor, performance, etc.
  3. Who/what triggered it — issue number, user request, tech debt, etc.

If the user provides a raw git diff, extract this context automatically from the diff.

Step 2: Identify the Commit Type

Map the change to a Conventional Commits type using this guide:

Type Use When
feat A new feature or capability is added
fix A bug or incorrect behavior is corrected
refactor Code restructured without changing behavior
perf A change that improves performance
docs Documentation only changes
style Formatting, whitespace, missing semicolons (no logic change)
test Adding or updating tests
chore Build process, dependency updates, config changes
ci CI/CD pipeline changes
revert Reverting a previous commit

See references/conventional-commits-guide.md for detailed examples.

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.
