commit

A workflow for finishing a code change and preparing it for a commit or pull request, a request to merge changes into a shared codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a change is ready to commit, push, or submit for review. It also guides cleanup of code, tests, documentation, and formatting.
Why use it?
It provides a checklist for cleaning the change, checking it, committing it, sending it to the remote repository, and monitoring the pull request.

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 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit and PR

Before authoring a commit or PR title or body, read:

  • .agents/skills/writing-style/SKILL.md
  • .agents/skills/writing-style/pull-requests.md
  • .agents/skills/writing-style/ai-writing-donts.md

Clean and validate the diff, commit it, run the advisory review over the committed branch, push, update the PR, then monitor it. A WIP checkpoint may stop after clean-up, lint, staging, commit, and push.

1. Clean up your own diff

Read the complete branch diff and remove dead code, weak tests, stale prose, debugging artifacts, and unrelated changes.

If the diff touches tests and this commit is intended for a PR or review, read root TESTING.md and the relevant module-specific AGENTS.md or testing docs as part of this self-review. Apply TESTING.md's behavioral-value gate to every changed test. Delete disposable probes and low-value tests before a PR-ready commit.

2. Lint and format

./infra/pre-commit.py --changed-files --fix   # diff-scoped; use --all-files for a full sweep

This is the required entry point; do not substitute uv run pre-commit, skip hooks, or weaken checks.

3. Tests and docs checks (when relevant)

  • uv run --no-project infra/ci/run_tests.py to run affected safe unit tests. Do not override the repository's default marker expression.
  • If docs pages were added/deleted/renamed: uv run python infra/check_docs_source_links.py.
  • If the change is docs-heavy: uv run mkdocs build --strict.

4. Stage changes

Review git status and git diff, then stage only this task's explicit files. Never stage secrets or unrelated work.

5. Commit

Follow writing-style/pull-requests.md for the commit subject and body.

Review the exact message before committing. After the commit, inspect it with git show -s --format='%s%n%n%b' HEAD; do not push if a tool added attribution, a session trailer, or other text that was not in the reviewed message.

If a hook fails, fix the issue and create a new commit. Do not amend unless the user asks.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository marin-community/marin (3,039 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,061 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
