dev-commit

A guided workflow for making one careful Git commit, where Git records a set of code changes as a checkpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect repository changes, select only the intended files, run relevant validation, and create a conventional commit ready for review or a pull request.
Why use it?
It helps avoid committing unrelated files or existing personal changes and encourages checks before the commit is 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.

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

dev-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dev Commit

Make one intentional, verified commit without sweeping in unrelated work.

Commit Contract

  1. Check repository state with git status --short --branch, git diff --stat, and git diff.
  2. Identify the files that belong to the requested change. Treat pre-existing user edits, local config, generated artifacts, dependency caches, build outputs, and unrelated formatting churn as out of scope unless the user explicitly includes them.
  3. Run appropriate validation before committing. Prefer the repo's targeted tests, lint, typecheck, build, or documented verification commands. Record skipped validation with the reason. In workspaces whose packages resolve against built artifacts, ensure install and build have run in that worktree (npm ci, npm run build) before full validation or commit hooks; a fresh worktree with stale artifacts fails hooks for environmental reasons.
  4. Stage only intended paths. Prefer explicit pathspecs such as git add path/to/file over git add ..
  5. Re-check with git diff --cached --stat, git diff --cached, and git status --short.
  6. Write a concise conventional commit message: <type>(optional-scope): <summary>.
  7. Commit, then report the commit SHA, final status, validation commands, and any unstaged/untracked files left behind.

Guardrails

  • Do not commit secrets, credentials, .env files, local machine config, caches, coverage, logs, screenshots, or generated files unless the change explicitly requires them.
  • Do not stage another person's unrelated edits. If intended and unrelated changes are mixed in one file, use an interactive or patch-based staging flow and review the staged diff carefully.
  • Do not amend, rebase, force-push, reset, or delete branches unless the user explicitly asks for that operation.
  • If validation fails, stop before committing unless the user explicitly instructs you to commit with failing validation. Report the failing command and key output.
  • If the repo has commit hooks, let them run. If a hook changes files, inspect and stage only intended hook outputs before retrying. If a hook fails, first rule out environmental causes (missing install, stale workspace build artifacts, concurrent test runs sharing resources) by re-running the failing package in isolation; do not treat an environmental failure as a code regression or "stop" condition until isolated runs still fail.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

dev-commit is a skill published in the GitHub repository codeaholicguy/ai-devkit (1,601 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 656 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 2026-08-30.
