commit-message-storyteller

commit-message-storyteller is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ilteoood/harness. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for turning Git changes into Conventional Commits, a standard format for describing changes in commit messages, with their reasons explained.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after reviewing a Git diff or staged changes when you need a commit message or want to describe the change before committing.
Why use it?
It helps write commit messages that record why work was done, not only which files or lines changed.

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-message-storyteller 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 4d 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.

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.
