commit

A guide for creating a Git commit with a standard Conventional Commits message, which labels the kind of change such as a feature, fix, refactor, or documentation update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the current changes are ready to commit and you need a descriptive, consistently formatted commit without pushing it to a remote repository.
Why use it?
It helps produce commit history that clearly explains what changed and why, while respecting existing commit hooks and avoiding skipped checks.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to commit — 0 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 — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a git commit for the current changes using Conventional Commits format with a polished, highly descriptive message. If there are commit hooks - do not skip them, it's your responsability to leave things better than they were.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <summary>

  • type REQUIRED. Use feat for new features, fix for bug fixes. Other common types: docs, refactor, chore, test, perf.
  • scope OPTIONAL. Short noun in parentheses for the affected area (e.g., api, parser, ui).
  • summary REQUIRED. Short, imperative, <= 72 chars, no trailing period.

Notes

  • Body is strongly encouraged — always include one unless the change is trivially obvious (e.g., fixing a typo). The body should explain what changed, why it changed, the approach taken, and any notable decisions. A reader of git log should understand the change without looking at the diff.
  • Do NOT include breaking-change markers or footers.
  • Do NOT add sign-offs (no Signed-off-by).
  • Only commit; do NOT push.
  • If it is unclear whether a file should be included, ask the user which files to commit.
  • Treat any caller-provided arguments as additional commit guidance. Common patterns:
    • Freeform instructions should influence scope, summary, and body.
    • File paths or globs should limit which files to commit. If files are specified, only stage/commit those unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.
    • If arguments combine files and instructions, honor both.

Steps

  1. Infer from the prompt if the user provided specific file paths/globs and/or additional instructions.
  2. Review git status and git diff to understand the current changes (limit to argument-specified files if provided).
  3. (Optional) Run git log -n 50 --pretty=format:%s to see commonly used scopes.
  4. If there are ambiguous extra files, ask the user for clarification before committing.
  5. Stage only the intended files (all changes if no files specified).
  6. Run git commit -m "<subject>" (and -m "<body>" if needed).

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 niclejeune/pi-agents-config (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 494 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to commit, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
