kit-copilot-create-commit-instructions is a skill for Claude Code from ikcode-dev/copilot-kit. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,248 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper that creates a file of rules for GitHub Copilot's commit-message generator in Visual Studio Code. The rules can define the format and conventions Copilot should follow when suggesting commit messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up or customize commit-message instructions, including formats such as Conventional Commits.

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

kit-copilot-create-commit-instructions 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 1mo 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.

Create Commit Message Instructions

What This Skill Does

Generates a .github/commit-message-instructions.md file that customizes how GitHub Copilot generates commit messages in the VS Code Source Control panel. The generated file uses XML-like tags exclusively (no markdown headers, no bullet lists, no tables) because Copilot's commit message generation uses a lower-tier LLM that parses XML boundaries more reliably.

Step-by-step Procedure

Step 1: Gather Preferences

Determine the user's commit message preferences. If the user provides no specific preferences, default to Conventional Commits format.

If the user's request is clear enough, skip the questions and proceed directly.

Step 2: Determine Commit Style

Based on user input, select the appropriate commit message style:

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.
