commit

commit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gtapps/hermitd. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scoped Git workflow for recording plugin changes. It adds a line to the relevant changelog and creates one commit without pushing, tagging, or changing the version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after finishing a plugin change when you want to identify its scope, update the changelog, stage the right paths, and commit the work.
Why use it?
It avoids mixing unrelated plugin changes and prevents broad or unsafe staging. It also stops when the repository is not in a safe state to commit.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Good fit Use it after finishing a plugin change when you want to identify its scope, update the changelog, stage the right paths, and commit the work.

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 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 11d 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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit

Detect which plugin's scope this change belongs to, append a changelog line in that plugin's CHANGELOG, then commit. No push, no tag, no version bump — that's /release's job.

Guardrails (check before starting)

  • Clean tree (git status shows nothing) → stop and say so, nothing to commit.
  • Detached HEAD, mid-rebase, or mid-merge → stop and ask the user to resolve that first.
  • Never --amend, --no-verify, force-push, or create tags here.
  • Never use git add -A or git add . — staging is path-scoped per step 0.
  • If a pre-commit hook fails, fix the root cause and create a new commit — don't bypass the hook.
  • main is the default base for everyday work. Claude Code's /plugin update only fires when version in plugin.json changes, so commits merged to main between releases are invisible to operators on the standard install path — [Unreleased] accumulates until /release ships them.

Steps

0. Detect scope

Run git status --porcelain and partition the changed paths:

  • Paths matching plugins/<X>/... → group by <X> (the slug).
  • Paths outside plugins/ (root README, .github/, .claude/, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, root configs) → "root-scope" paths.

Then decide:

  • Single plugin slug, no root-scope paths → set $PLUGIN_DIR = plugins/<slug>/, set $SCOPE = plugin. Continue.
  • Multiple plugin slugs touched → stop. Print the per-slug file groups and ask the user to split the change into separate /commit runs (one per plugin). Do not stage anything.
  • Single plugin slug + a few root-scope paths → ask the user via AskUserQuestion: "Bundle the root-scope files (<list>) into the <slug> commit, or split them out as a separate root-scope commit?" Default to splitting if uncertain.
  • Root-scope only (no plugins/<X>/...) → set $SCOPE = root, $PLUGIN_DIR = none. Continue.

The rest of this skill branches on $SCOPE.

1. Review the diff

Run git status and git diff HEAD (or git diff if nothing staged yet). Scan for:

  • Secrets or credentials (.env, API keys, tokens)
  • Large binaries or generated files that shouldn't be versioned
  • Unrelated files that shouldn't be bundled in this commit

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.
