submit-changes

A workflow for moving local Git changes into an open pull request, a request for teammates to review and merge code. It handles the branch, commit, push, and pull-request stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when submitting, shipping, or pushing finished changes and opening a pull request.
Why use it?
It removes the need to perform and remember each Git step manually while applying checks for branch names and safe submission.

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

submit-changes 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 yesterday.

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

Submit Changes

This skill automates the full pipeline from local changes to an open pull request: branch → commit → push → PR. Each phase is idempotent — already-completed steps are skipped automatically.

When to Use This Skill

  • Submitting local changes as a complete workflow in one step
  • Automating the branch + commit + PR process without manual intervention
  • Shipping finished work without manually running each git command

Safety Rules

These rules are non-negotiable:

  • NEVER run destructive commands (git reset, git clean, git checkout -- ., git push --force, git rebase)
  • NEVER bypass hooks with --no-verify
  • NEVER disable signing with --no-gpg-sign
  • NEVER auto-fix pre-commit failures — report the failure and stop
  • On any failure: report the error and stop immediately

Automatic Change Analysis

Before executing any phases, analyze the working tree and staged changes:

git status --porcelain
git diff HEAD

From the diff, automatically determine:

  1. Type — From the allowed types (see commit-code skill)
  2. Scope — From the allowed scopes (see commit-code skill)
  3. Gitmoji — Best-fit emoji for the type and intent (see commit-code skill)
  4. Subject — Concise imperative phrase, lowercase, no period, under 70 chars

These values drive the branch name, commit message, and PR title throughout all phases.

Phase 1 — Branch

  1. Check current branch: git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

  2. If on main, create and switch to a new branch following checkout-branch conventions:

    git checkout -b <type>/<scope>-<description>
    
  3. Validate branch-name conformance for the current branch:

    pnpm exec validate-branch-name -t "<branch>"
    
  4. If validation fails, run the rename-branch skill to derive and apply a compliant branch name, then re-run validation.

  5. Push to remote and set upstream:

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.

submit-changes is a skill published in the GitHub repository JimmyPaolini/codebase (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,949 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
