commit-work

commit-work is a skill for Claude Code from Dannykkh/skill-olympus. It costs 24 tokens per session (553 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of commit-work, MIT.

A Git workflow for reviewing changes, staging only the intended files, splitting work into sensible commits, and writing Conventional Commit messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare clean commits that are easier to review, understand, and safely ship.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unrelated edits, secrets, debugging code, or unclear history from ending up in the same commit.

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-work 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to commit-work — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Commit work

Goal

Make commits that are easy to review and safe to ship:

  • only intended changes are included
  • commits are logically scoped (split when needed)
  • commit messages describe what changed and why

Inputs to ask for (if missing)

  • Single commit or multiple commits? (If unsure: default to multiple small commits when there are unrelated changes.)
  • Commit style: Conventional Commits are required.
  • Any rules: max subject length, required scopes.

Workflow (checklist)

  1. Inspect the working tree before staging
    • git status
    • git diff (unstaged)
    • If many changes: git diff --stat
  2. Decide commit boundaries (split if needed)
    • Split by: feature vs refactor, backend vs frontend, formatting vs logic, tests vs prod code, dependency bumps vs behavior changes.
    • If changes are mixed in one file, plan to use patch staging.
  3. Stage only what belongs in the next commit
    • Prefer patch staging for mixed changes: git add -p
    • To unstage a hunk/file: git restore --staged -p or git restore --staged <path>
  4. Review what will actually be committed
    • git diff --cached
    • Sanity checks:
      • no secrets or tokens
      • no accidental debug logging
      • no unrelated formatting churn
  5. Describe the staged change in 1-2 sentences (before writing the message)
    • "What changed?" + "Why?"
    • If you cannot describe it cleanly, the commit is probably too big or mixed; go back to step 2.
  6. Write the commit message
    • Use Conventional Commits (required):
      • type(scope): short summary
      • blank line
      • body (what/why, not implementation diary)
      • footer (BREAKING CHANGE) if needed
    • Prefer an editor for multi-line messages: git commit -v
    • Use references/commit-message-template.md if helpful.
  7. Run the smallest relevant verification
    • Run the repo's fastest meaningful check (unit tests, lint, or build) before moving on.
  8. Repeat for the next commit until the working tree is clean

Deliverable

Provide:

  • the final commit message(s)
  • a short summary per commit (what/why)
  • the commands used to stage/review (at minimum: git diff --cached, plus any tests run)

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.
