Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00054 | $0.00583 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00292 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00117 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
commit-work 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 3d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to commit-work — 0 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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Commit work
Goal
Make commits that are easy to review and safe to ship:
- only intended changes are included
- commits are logically scoped (split when needed)
- commit messages describe what changed and why
Inputs to ask for (if missing)
- Single commit or multiple commits? (If unsure: default to multiple small commits when there are unrelated changes.)
- Commit style: Conventional Commits are required.
- Any rules: max subject length, required scopes.
Workflow (checklist)
- Inspect the working tree before staging
git statusgit diff(unstaged)- If many changes:
git diff --stat
- Decide commit boundaries (split if needed)
- Split by: feature vs refactor, backend vs frontend, formatting vs logic, tests vs prod code, dependency bumps vs behavior changes.
- If changes are mixed in one file, plan to use patch staging.
- Stage only what belongs in the next commit
- Prefer patch staging for mixed changes:
git add -p - To unstage a hunk/file:
git restore --staged -porgit restore --staged <path>
- Prefer patch staging for mixed changes:
- Review what will actually be committed
git diff --cached- Sanity checks:
- no secrets or tokens
- no accidental debug logging
- no unrelated formatting churn
- Describe the staged change in 1-2 sentences (before writing the message)
- "What changed?" + "Why?"
- If you cannot describe it cleanly, the commit is probably too big or mixed; go back to step 2.
- Write the commit message
- Use Conventional Commits (required):
type(scope): short summary- blank line
- body (what/why, not implementation diary)
- footer (BREAKING CHANGE) if needed
- Prefer an editor for multi-line messages:
git commit -v - Use
references/commit-message-template.mdif helpful.
- Use Conventional Commits (required):
- Run the smallest relevant verification
- Run the repo's fastest meaningful check (unit tests, lint, or build) before moving on.
- Repeat for the next commit until the working tree is clean
Deliverable
Provide:
- the final commit message(s)
- a short summary per commit (what/why)
- the commands used to stage/review (at minimum:
git diff --cached, plus any tests run)
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

commit-work is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 583 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to commit-work, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

commit-archaeologist
Reconstructs why code exists from local git history, including the introducing commit, later changes, current authors, repeated companion files, and likely intent. Use when the user asks "why does this code exist", "who wrote this function and why", or to "explain the history of this function" before a rewrite…
github-pr-workflow
Prepare a GitHub pull request from a feature branch — branch hygiene, commit shape, title/body, verification notes, screenshots for UI work, and replies to review comments.
pr-draft-summary
Create the required PR-ready summary block, branch suggestion, title, and draft description for openai-agents-python. Use before the final response whenever the current task changed runtime code, tests, examples, build/test configuration, or docs with behavior impact, regardless of perceived change size and including…
adk-git
Writes commit messages and pull request descriptions for the adk-python repository: Conventional Commits types and scopes, subject lines that say why a change was made, and the linked-issue and testing-plan sections the PR template requires. Use when writing or rewording a commit message, squashing commits before a…
commit-context
Trace a file, function, or line back to the agent session that produced its current commit. Use when the user asks "why is this code here", "what was the agent doing when this changed", "who wrote this", or wants context on a specific location in the codebase.
commit-history
List recent git commits linked to agent sessions, optionally filtered by branch or repo. Use when the user asks "show agent commits", "what has the agent shipped", "list linked commits", or wants commits with their session context.
