commit

A Git commit helper that reviews your changes and creates concise, conventional commit messages, such as `feat`, `fix`, or `test`. Every commit message it creates is limited to one line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a set of Git changes and create a focused semantic commit for them. It is also useful when you want commit messages kept short, with extra explanation placed in a pull request or documentation.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide how to group related changes and write a consistent commit message by hand. It focuses on the overall purpose of the changes instead of just listing files.

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 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.

Smart Commit Skill

This skill helps users create well-structured, semantic git commits by analyzing changes and suggesting appropriate commit messages.

CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: SINGLE-LINE COMMITS ONLY

ALL commit messages created by this skill MUST be single-line only.

  • DO: git commit -m "feat: add user authentication"
  • DON'T: Multi-line commits with body text
  • DON'T: Multiple -m flags
  • DON'T: Commit messages with \n or additional paragraphs

Keep commits concise and focused. If more detail is needed, suggest adding it separately in PR descriptions or documentation.

Overview

This skill automates the process of reviewing git changes and creating meaningful, conventional commits following the semantic commit format (feat/fix/chore/test).

Core Philosophy

THINK IN PURPOSES, NOT FILES

This skill prioritizes understanding the OVERALL GOAL of changes before deciding how to commit them. The default approach is to:

  1. Understand what the developer is trying to achieve
  2. Group all related changes into meaningful, purpose-driven commits
  3. Prefer fewer, cohesive commits over many fragmented ones

DO NOT commit file-by-file. DO NOT separate tests from implementation. DO NOT fragment features across multiple commits.

Instead, ask: "What story do these changes tell?" and commit accordingly.

Usage

To use this skill, simply say:

  • "Help me commit my changes"
  • "Create semantic commits"
  • "Review and commit changes"
  • Use the command: /commit

Process Steps

1. Analyze Git Status

First, check the current git status to understand:

  • What files have been modified, added, or deleted
  • Which files are staged vs unstaged
  • Overall state of the working directory
git status
git diff --stat

2. HOLISTIC ANALYSIS - Understand the Overall Purpose

CRITICAL: Before diving into file-by-file analysis, step back and ask:

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.
