commit-with-costs

commit-with-costs is a skill for Claude Code from noahlz/claude-plugins. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,243 once invoked), scanned A, 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.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-with-costs 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 8d 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.

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.

0. Pre-flight and Config

Halt if git commands already ran in this turn.

SKILL_CONFIG: !node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/skill-config.js" check commit-with-costs

  • Starts with ✓ Configuration found → Step 1a
  • Starts with NOT_CONFIGURED → Step 1b

Config lives at the project root. Access it only via skill-config.js, never by relative path.

1. Resolve SessionID

1a. Load existing configuration

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/skill-config.js" read commit-with-costs

Extract config.sessionId → SESSION_ID. Proceed to Step 2.

1b. Create new configuration

Display: "Configuration not found ({{path from SKILL_CONFIG}}). Let's create it."

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/commit-workflow.js" list-sessions

Extract data.sessions. Use AskUserQuestion: "Select a Claude Code session:" with first 4 session IDs as options.

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.
