What is smart-commit?

A workflow for creating Conventional Commits, a standard format for commit messages such as `fix(api): handle empty response`. It reviews changes, groups related files, runs available checks, and commits each group.

Use it when committing work that needs inspection, testing, grouping into separate commits, and clearly formatted commit messages.

Unrelated changes and vague commit messages make project history harder to understand and review. This keeps commits focused and records why changes were made.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add skills/claude-world/director-mode-lite/smart-commit

Any agent

npx skills add claude-world/director-mode-lite --skill smart-commit

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/claude-world/director-mode-lite

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install director-mode-lite, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 36 skills, 14 agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00049	$0.00687
Opus 5	$0.00024	$0.00344
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00137
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00069

Security

Grade A, and why

smart-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 4d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Smart Commit

Create a high-quality commit for current changes.

Execution

Inventory changes: run git status and git diff (plus git diff --staged for already-staged work) to see everything that changed.
Group related changes into logical commits — list the files that belong to each group so one commit maps to one concern.
Run available quality gates (test suite, linter, formatter) if the project configures them, and fix failures before committing.
Stage each group in turn with git add <files>.
Craft a Conventional Commits message — type(scope): description, with a body that explains why the change was made.
Commit the staged group.
Confirm the result with git log --oneline -n (choose n to cover the commits you just made).

Repeat steps 4-6 for each group so unrelated changes land in separate commits. The format and type reference below is your guide for steps 5-6.

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.
