ijfw-commit

ijfw-commit is a skill for Claude Code from FerroxLabs/ijfw. It costs 22 tokens per session (285 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing Conventional Commits, a standard format such as `fix(auth): prevent token refresh race condition` for describing changes in Git history. It also defines a follow-up critique command after a successful commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating Git commits, choosing a change type and scope, writing a short subject, and optionally adding a reason in the body.
Why use it?
Consistent commit messages make project history easier to search, review, and use for release notes. The rules also encourage explaining why a change was made rather than repeating the diff.

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

ijfw-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 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.

What it actually says

Write commit messages following Conventional Commits.

Format: type(scope): subject

Rules:

  • Subject ≤50 chars. Imperative mood.
  • Why over what. The diff shows what changed.
  • Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, perf, ci, style
  • Scope: affected module/component (optional but preferred)
  • Body only if the "why" isn't obvious from the subject.
  • No "Updated", "Changed", "Modified" -- be specific.

Examples:

  • fix(auth): prevent token refresh race condition
  • feat(api): add rate limiting to public endpoints
  • refactor(db): extract connection pool into service

After commit completes successfully, run in the same shell:

command -v ijfw >/dev/null 2>&1 && ijfw cross critique HEAD~1..HEAD &

Then narrate to the user using this exact structure:

  • One line: Phase N / Wave NA -- Step N.M -- commit -- done.
  • One line: SHA + subject (e.g. a1b2c3d feat(api): add rate limiting)
  • One line: Background critique running -- check /ijfw-status for findings. (omit if ijfw not present)
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.
