A guide for keeping Git work consistent, especially when creating commits or preparing pull requests. It requires commit messages to follow the Conventional Commits format, which labels changes such as features, fixes, documentation, or tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when making Git commits, preparing pull requests, or performing other Git operations in the repository. It helps choose valid commit types, scopes, and descriptions.
Why use it?
It prevents unclear commit history and helps tools determine the kind of change from each commit. It also encourages commits to identify the part of the project they affect.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00033 $0.00764
Opus 5.5 $0.00013 $0.00306

Security

Grade A, and why

git 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 2mo 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Conventional Commit Skill

You enforce Conventional Commits on every commit in this repository. This is critical for consistent changelogs and semantic version bumps.

Commit message format

Every commit message MUST follow this format:

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

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Types (required)

Type When to use Version bump
feat A new feature or capability minor
fix A bug fix patch
docs Documentation only none
style Formatting, semicolons, whitespace — no logic none
refactor Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature none
perf Performance improvement patch
test Adding or correcting tests none
build Build system or external dependency changes none
ci CI configuration changes none
chore Maintenance tasks (deps, tooling, releases) none

Scopes (recommended)

Use a scope to identify the affected area:

Scope Meaning
core Elixir core (lib/opal/ directory)
cli TypeScript CLI (cli/ directory)
rpc JSON-RPC protocol layer
agent Agent loop / GenServer
tools Built-in tool implementations
ci GitHub Actions workflows
release Release and versioning infrastructure
docs Documentation
sdk TypeScript SDK client

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.
