conventional-commits is a skill for Claude Code from Claude-Code-Community-Ireland/claude-code-resources. It costs 38 tokens per session (384 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing Conventional Commits, a standard format for commit messages such as `feat`, `fix`, and `docs`. It derives the message from staged Git changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when committing staged changes, writing release-friendly history, or documenting fixes, features, refactors, tests, and maintenance work.
Why use it?
It makes commit history easier to scan and lets tools identify the kind of change being recorded.

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 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.

What it actually says

Conventional Commits Skill

Generate well-formatted conventional commit messages from staged changes.

Instructions

When asked to commit changes or when the user runs /commit:

  1. Analyze staged changes using git diff --staged
  2. Identify the type of change:
    • feat: New feature
    • fix: Bug fix
    • docs: Documentation only
    • style: Formatting, no code change
    • refactor: Code restructuring
    • test: Adding/updating tests
    • chore: Maintenance tasks
  3. Determine the scope (optional): The part of codebase affected
  4. Write the message following this format:
    <type>(<scope>): <short description>
    
    <body - what and why, not how>
    
    <footer - breaking changes, issue refs>
    

Examples

Simple feature:

feat(auth): add password reset functionality

Bug fix with body:

fix(api): handle null response from external service

The weather API occasionally returns null during maintenance windows.
Added defensive check to prevent crash and return cached data instead.

Breaking change:

feat(db)!: migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL

BREAKING CHANGE: Database connection strings must be updated.
See migration guide in docs/migration-v2.md

Rules

  • Keep the first line under 72 characters
  • Use imperative mood ("add" not "added")
  • Don't end with a period
  • Reference issues when applicable
  • Add ! after type for breaking changes
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.
