commitlore-setup

A setup skill for CommitLore, which stores repository decisions in Git records. It checks the repository, installs the commit-message hook, configures note fetching, and builds the local index.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize CommitLore, diagnose configuration problems, install its hook, rebuild records, and repair the Git notes fetch setup.
Why use it?
It fixes or completes the repository wiring needed for decision records to work for current and future clones.

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

commitlore-setup 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CommitLore setup

Every command below is the commitlore CLI, which arrives with install.sh / install.ps1. The Claude Code plugin ships the MCP server, the pre-edit hook and these skills, and puts nothing on PATH — where commitlore is not found, node <plugin-checkout>/dist/commitlore.mjs takes the same arguments.

Shortcut for a repository that just needs wiring up, nothing broken to diagnose: commitlore init runs steps 2-4 below (hooks install, index --rebuild, then doctor --fix as a final check) in one command, reports what it did and what it could not, and is safe to re-run. Use the four steps below one at a time when something specific looks broken and you want to isolate which piece.

Four checks, in order. Each one is independent and re-runnable — running any of them twice on an already-configured repo is a no-op, not an error.

1. Diagnose

commitlore doctor

Reports ok, warn, or skipped for: whether the origin remote fetches refs/notes/commitlore (records that live only in the notes mirror never reach a teammate whose fetch config omits that ref), whether there is a local notes mirror to push, whether the commit-msg hook is installed, and whether the local git build parses trailers the way the spec expects. warn lines carry their own fix directly underneath — read that before doing anything else. Example, run against a repo that has a remote but nothing else set up:

warn    notes fetch refspec — origin does not fetch refs/notes/commitlore, so records pushed by others stay invisible here
        fix: git config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/notes/commitlore:refs/notes/commitlore'
ok      notes push — no local mirror yet — nothing to push (git push origin refs/notes/commitlore, once there is)
warn    commit-msg hook — no commit-msg hook at .git/hooks/commit-msg
        fix: commitlore hooks install
ok      git interpret-trailers — git version 2.50.1 (Apple Git-155) parses trailers as the spec expects

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.

commitlore-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository MongLong0214/commitlore (9 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 1,508 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
