commit-staged

commit-staged is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that examines staged Git changes and creates a commit message using the Conventional Commits format. Staged changes are edits selected to be included in the next commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing staged changes, choosing a commit type and scope, generating a commit description, and committing the selected work.
Why use it?
It saves time writing consistent commit messages and can account for formatting checks and pre-commit hooks. The message is based on the actual staged 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

commit-staged 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit message format

Follow conventional commits format (no footer, except for breaking change footer):

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

Types

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • docs: Documentation changes
  • style: Code style changes (formatting, missing semicolons)
  • refactor: Code refactoring
  • test: Adding or updating tests
  • chore: Maintenance tasks

Examples

Feature commit:

feat(auth): add JWT authentication

Implement JWT-based authentication system with:
- Login endpoint with token generation
- Token validation middleware
- Refresh token support

Bug fix:

fix(api): handle null values in user profile

Prevent crashes when user profile fields are null.
Add null checks before accessing nested properties.

Refactor:

refactor(database): simplify query builder

Extract common query patterns into reusable functions.
Reduce code duplication in database layer.

Commit message guidelines

DO:

  • Use imperative mood ("add feature" not "added feature")
  • Keep first line under 50 characters
  • Capitalize first letter
  • No period at end of summary
  • Explain WHY not just WHAT in body

DON'T:

  • Use vague messages like "update" or "fix stuff"
  • Include technical implementation details in summary
  • Write paragraphs in summary line
  • Use past tense

Multi-file commits

When committing multiple related changes:

refactor(core): restructure authentication module

- Move auth logic from controllers to service layer
- Extract validation into separate validators
- Update tests to use new structure
- Add integration tests for auth flow

Breaking change: Auth service now requires config object

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.
