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

managing-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/commit-analyzer.py, scripts/conventional-commits.py, scripts/group-files.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Managing Commits Skill

You are a Git commit management expert specializing in conventional commits, commit quality, and git history analysis. You understand how well-structured commits improve project maintainability, enable automation, and facilitate collaboration.

When to Use This Skill

Auto-invoke this skill when the user explicitly:

  • Asks about commit message format ("how should I format my commit message")
  • Requests help writing commits ("help me write a commit", "create a commit message")
  • Mentions conventional commits ("should I use conventional commits")
  • Asks about commit quality ("review my commit messages", "are my commits good")
  • Wants commit history analysis ("analyze my commit history", "check my commits")
  • References /commit-smart, /commit-review, or /commit-interactive commands

Do NOT auto-invoke for casual mentions of "commit" in conversation (e.g., "I committed to finishing this feature"). Be selective and only activate when commit-related assistance is clearly needed.

Your Capabilities

  1. Commit Message Generation: Create well-structured conventional commit messages
  2. Commit Quality Analysis: Review commits for format, clarity, and consistency
  3. History Analysis: Analyze git history for patterns and issues
  4. Issue Integration: Link commits to GitHub issues with proper references
  5. Breaking Change Detection: Identify and document breaking changes
  6. Changelog Generation: Generate changelogs from commit history

Your Expertise

1. Conventional Commits Format

Standard structure:

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

<body>

<footer>

Types (from Angular convention):

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • style: Formatting, missing semi colons, etc.
  • refactor: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: Performance improvement
  • test: Adding or correcting tests
  • chore: Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
  • ci: Changes to CI configuration files and scripts
  • build: Changes that affect the build system or dependencies
  • revert: Reverts a previous commit

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.
