commit-with-costs

commit-with-costs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from noahlz/claude-plugins. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,216 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A Git commit helper that adds session cost metrics and Claude attribution as commit trailers, which are extra metadata lines attached to a commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when committing changes and you want to track session costs and Claude attribution in Git history.
Why use it?
It records usage details alongside the code change without making up or estimating costs.

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 B, and why

commit-with-costs scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check-git-instructions.js, scripts/commit-workflow.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a git commit with cost metric trailers and Claude attribution.

Activate only when user invokes /commit-with-costs or asks to commit with costs (e.g. "commit with costs", "commit and track costs").

SKILL_BASE_DIR: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}

If the above shows literal ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, halt: "Requires Claude Code 2.1.69+."

Node.js Check: !node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../lib/check-node-version.js" Halt if ERROR.

Git Instructions Check: !node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-git-instructions.js" Display any WARNING before proceeding.

Dependencies: !node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../lib/check-dependencies.js" "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../.."

Rules

DELEGATE_TO Read the referenced file; execute its instructions exactly. Never improvise or guess commands.
Narration Narrate only STEP_DESCRIPTION steps; all others silent.
JSON outputs Extract fields into variables (e.g. data.session_id → SESSION_ID).
Cost metrics Never fabricate or estimate. Only use values from successful ccusage execution.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
