commit-message

A workflow for drafting a conventional commit message from the current uncommitted changes, while matching the repository's existing commit style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect staged or unstaged changes, read recent commit history, and write a suitable message; it can also create the commit when explicitly requested.
Why use it?
It avoids vague commit messages and keeps the history consistent with the project's conventions.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit Message

Draft a commit message for the current changes given $ARGUMENTS (optional: --commit to also create the commit).


Gotchas

  • Draft-only by default — output the message; do not run git commit unless --commit was passed.
  • Staged changes win — if anything is staged, describe only the staged diff; otherwise describe all uncommitted changes (and say which set you used).
  • Match history, not a generic convention — read recent git log subjects before writing; this repo's style is authoritative over any general conventional-commits habit.
  • Never invent scope from a single stray file — scope reflects where the substance of the change lives; a drive-by fix in a second area goes in the body, not the scope.

Step 1 — Collect the change

git status --short
git diff --staged --stat   # if anything is staged
git diff --stat            # otherwise
git log --oneline -15

Read the full diff (git diff --staged / git diff) for the files that carry the substance of the change. Skim generated files (packages/tokens/src/generated.ts, snapshots) — name them in the body if regenerated, but do not describe their contents line by line.

Step 2 — Choose type and scope

Format: type(scope): subject — scope omitted when the change is repo-wide.

Type Used for
feat New component, prop, token, skill, or capability
fix Bug or violation fix (a11y fixes count)
refactor Restructuring with no behavior change
chore Tooling, lint config, versioning, baselines
test Test or eval additions/changes
build Bundling, packaging, build order
docs Spec docs or markdown-only changes

Scopes seen in history: skills, lint, core, evals, plus package names (tokens, agents) and component names where the change is that narrow. Multi-part changes may join two clauses with ; in the subject (see 142a14c).

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.

commit-message is a skill published in the GitHub repository brianmontanaweb/agentic-design-system (2 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 738 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
