caveman-commit

caveman-commit is a skill for Claude Code from hamzaPixl/pixl-ai. It costs 91 tokens per session (680 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of caveman-commit, MIT.

A guide for writing very short Conventional Commits, a standard format for recording code changes. It keeps the subject exact and adds details only when the reason is not obvious.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need a terse commit message from a code change, especially after asking for the “caveman” style. It helps choose the commit type, write an imperative subject, and add a brief reason when needed.
Why use it?
It removes filler from commit messages while preserving the change’s purpose. This makes project history easier to scan without losing important context.

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

caveman-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 5d 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

83% identical to caveman-commit — 8 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write commit messages terse and exact. Conventional Commits format. No fluff. Why over what.

Rules

Subject line:

  • <type>(<scope>): <imperative summary><scope> optional
  • Types: feat, fix, refactor, perf, docs, test, chore, build, ci, style, revert
  • Imperative mood: "add", "fix", "remove" — not "added", "adds", "adding"
  • ≤50 chars when possible, hard cap 72
  • No trailing period
  • Match project convention for capitalization after the colon

Body (only if needed):

  • Skip entirely when subject is self-explanatory
  • Add body only for: non-obvious why, breaking changes, migration notes, linked issues
  • Wrap at 72 chars
  • Bullets - not *
  • Reference issues/PRs at end: Closes #42, Refs #17

What NEVER goes in:

  • "This commit does X", "I", "we", "now", "currently" — the diff says what
  • "As requested by..." — use Co-authored-by trailer
  • "Generated with Claude Code" or any AI attribution
  • Emoji (unless project convention requires)
  • Restating the file name when scope already says it

Examples

Diff: new endpoint for user profile with body explaining the why

  • ❌ "feat: add a new endpoint to get user profile information from the database"
  • feat(api): add GET /users/:id/profile
    
    Mobile client needs profile data without the full user payload
    to reduce LTE bandwidth on cold-launch screens.
    
    Closes #128
    

Diff: breaking API change

  • feat(api)!: rename /v1/orders to /v1/checkout
    
    BREAKING CHANGE: clients on /v1/orders must migrate to /v1/checkout
    before 2026-06-01. Old route returns 410 after that date.
    

Auto-Clarity

Always include body for: breaking changes, security fixes, data migrations, anything reverting a prior commit. Never compress these into subject-only — future debuggers need the context.

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.
