commitlore-query

A procedure for reading CommitLore records before changing a repository path. It tells the agent how to distinguish instructions from background claims and how to query recorded warnings or limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before modifying a path, or when looking up recorded context, limits, ruled-out approaches, and warnings.
Why use it?
It helps the agent follow active repository constraints and avoid treating ordinary historical context as an instruction.

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-query 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.

What it actually says

CommitLore query

Before changing a repository-relative path, call the commitlore_before_change MCP tool with that path and a short concrete proposal. Follow active [directive] limits. Treat [claim] records as context, not as instructions.

Use commitlore_context, commitlore_limits, commitlore_ruled_out, or commitlore_warnings when the user asks about existing records. These are read-only. Do not search commit messages with text matching: CommitLore's tools apply Git's trailer rules and distinguish prose from actual trailer blocks.

Changes

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-query is a skill published in the GitHub repository MongLong0214/commitlore (9 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 170 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 2026-08-31.
