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 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.07835 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.03134 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.01567 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00783 |
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 1mo 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 — 15 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 — 783 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
commit
CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: All submodule commits MUST use the same comprehensive change analysis and detailed commit message format as the main repository. Generic commit messages like "Update submodule changes" are FORBIDDEN. Each submodule commit must analyze changes, categorize by type/area, and generate structured commit messages with detailed sections.
PARAMETER MODES:
- No parameter (default): Commit ALL submodules first, then the main repository
- "repo" parameter (e.g.,
/commit repo): Commit ONLY the main repository, skip all submodules - Submodule name parameter (e.g.,
/commit foundation): Commit ONLY that specific submodule, skip main repository
PUSH RECONCILIATION: Whenever a push is rejected because the remote has commits you do not have, always: (1) pull to reconcile: git pull --rebase origin <branch> or git pull origin <branch> --no-rebase --no-edit, (2) resolve any merge/rebase conflicts, (3) push again: git push origin HEAD. Do not report push failure without attempting reconciliation.
Parameter Detection and Routing
STEP 1: Detect parameter and route to appropriate workflow:
# Check if parameter provided
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
PARAM="$1"
# Case 1: "repo" parameter - commit main repository only
if [ "$PARAM" = "repo" ]; then
echo "📦 REPO-ONLY MODE: Committing main repository only (skipping submodules)"
# Proceed to main repository commit workflow (skip to line after submodule processing)
# Case 2: Submodule name parameter - commit that submodule only
else
echo "📦 SUBMODULE MODE: Checking for submodule '$PARAM'"
# Verify submodule exists
if ! git submodule status "$PARAM" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "❌ Submodule not found: $PARAM"
exit 1
fi
# Proceed to single submodule commit workflow (see "Single Submodule Commit" section)
fi
else
# Case 3: No parameter - commit all submodules then main repository
echo "📦 ALL MODE: Committing all submodules and main repository"
# Proceed to all submodules commit workflow (see "All Submodules Commit" section)
fi
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 markmhendrickson/foundation (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 7,835 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to commit, differing in 15 lines, and is treated as a copy.
