git-commit

git-commit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from djscheuf/agentic-dev-ecosystem-template. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating Git commit messages in the style already used by a repository. Git is a system for tracking code changes, and a commit is a saved set of changes with a message.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write conventional messages with types such as feature, fix, or documentation, including an optional body and footer.
Why use it?
It keeps commit messages consistent, brief, and focused on the actual code changes rather than the tool that made them.

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

git-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 22d 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 — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Commit Skill

TL;DR

  • First line format: type(scope): subject (preferred) or type(scope) for very short, self-describing changes.
  • First line ≤ 72 characters.
  • Lowercase type and scope.
  • Imperative, present-tense subject.
  • Optional body and footer separated by blank lines.
  • ALWAYS keep commit messages about the changes, not the tooling.

Absolute rules

No AI/tooling attribution

Commit messages describe the change, not who or what wrote it. Only the human author is accountable for commits in this repository. The message body and footer MUST NOT contain any AI/tooling attribution or provenance markers.

Forbidden content includes, but is not limited to:

  • Generated with [Devin](...) or any similar tool citation
  • Co-Authored-By: Devin <...>
  • Signed-off-by: inserted by an assistant
  • Reviewed-by: or similar trailers added by tooling
  • Any footer line containing a URL to an AI assistant or automation platform

Before committing, grep the drafted message for the patterns above. If any are present, delete them.

Message format

Preferred:

Short, self-describing changes use the observed repo style:

<type>(<scope>): <light details>

Use this sparingly; prefer a colon and subject for anything non-trivial.

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

Allowed types

The main branch uses these type prefixes. Prefer them in this order:

Type Use when
feat A new feature or capability.
fix A bug fix or correction.
doc Documentation or ADR/vault changes. This repo uses doc, not docs.
clean Removing, ignoring, or tidying files and configuration.
wip Work-in-progress checkpoint that is intentionally committed.
refactor Code restructuring without changing external behavior.
rename Renaming files, skills, or symbols.
test Adding or changing tests only.
tweak A small adjustment to an existing feature.
maint Maintenance, dependency, or tooling updates.

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.
