commit-review

A change-review guide that examines staged and unstaged Git changes and groups them into proposed commit messages. Git is a version-control system, and Conventional Commits are a standard format for describing changes such as features and fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review what changed, split changes by purpose, check commit hooks and recent history, and draft accurate Conventional Commit messages.
Why use it?
It helps turn a mixed set of edits into clear, reviewable commits while following the repository’s own commit rules. It also prevents commits from being made without your explicit approval.

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-review 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 yesterday.

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 — 339 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit Review

Review all changes, group them by intent, and produce Conventional Commit messages terse and exact enough for any company's git log. Why over what. No fluff.

The rule that overrides everything

Never commit without explicit user approval. Always present the report first and wait for a "go". No exceptions, no shortcuts, no "this one is obvious".

Step 0 — detect repo conventions

Before drafting anything, learn what this repo actually accepts:

  • Read scripts/hooks/commit-msg.sh, .husky/commit-msg, commitlint.config.*, or package.json commitlint block — note the regex and any non-conventional shapes (e.g. deploy triggers like (build): front).
  • git log --oneline -50 to detect: capitalization after the colon, scope style (feat(webapp) vs feat:), body habits, and whether the repo's local hooks inject trailers (Made-with: …, Generated-by: …). Those trailers are repo policy, so leave them alone.
  • If the hook rejects the Conventional ! breaking-change marker (regex without an ! slot — common), use the BREAKING CHANGE: footer only. Never feat!: / feat(scope)!: until Step 0 confirms the regex accepts it.
  • If the repo defines extra shapes (e.g. ^\(build\):.* deploy trigger), accept them as first-class. Don't force everything into Conventional.

Step 1 — context depth (tier the work)

Default is fast: current conversation + working-tree diff + AGENTS.md + every AGENTS.md on the path of the changed files. Most commits don't need more.

Escalate to session archaeology (tier 2) when any of:

  • This session has < 3 user messages but the diff is large
  • Branch has been worked on > 48h (see anchor below)
  • User explicitly asks for "full context" / "session-aware" review
  • You're picking up a branch you weren't part of in this session

Tier 2 recipe — session archaeology

  1. Anchor on git history, not file mtime. Pick anchor by scope — mtime is reset by git checkout, formatters, bun install, and pre-commit hooks; never use it.
    • Reviewing only uncommitted changes (the common case):

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.

commit-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository docs-plus/docs.plus (88 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 3,812 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.
