commit

commit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,366 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating one well-written Git commit from changes in a project folder. Git is a tool that records code changes over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Saving staged or unstaged code changes as a single commit with a message that explains their purpose.
Why use it?
It helps the agent inspect the changes, branch, recent commits, and default branch before choosing a clear commit message.

Written for Claude Code and Codex: shipped in a Claude Code plugin, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git commit

Shape commit messages to repository conventions. Two modes: create (default) stages and commits working-tree changes as typed, atomic commits; rewrite rewords the messages of existing commits over HEAD or a short unpushed range while the tree stays byte-identical.

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger Create: user asks to commit or save staged or unstaged changes, create a typed branch, or format history for changelog generation. Rewrite: user asks to clean up a finished commit message or bring messages of HEAD or a short unpushed range to handoff-ready form.
Authority Reversible local: create writes only the local index, a local feature branch, and local commits; rewrite writes only local commit messages, shows the exact commit set before mutation, and never creates or suggests a new commit; rollback is version control, and for rewrite the reflog and the original refs. No remote mutation.
Side effect Create: local working tree, local index, local branch refs, and local commit objects; rollback git reset --hard <prior-HEAD> discards new commits and git branch -D <created-branch> removes a branch this skill created. Rewrite: commit messages only; the tree stays byte-identical; each rewritten commit is re-signed with its author and committer dates preserved by position. Local history only.
Done Create: each logical concern is committed with a value-communicating message; git status confirms success; commit hashes and subjects are reported; history is parseable and auto-generates changelogs, SemVer bumps, and issue closes. Rewrite: git diff <old>..<new> is empty, each rewritten commit is signed with the intended dates by position, and git log alone carries the handoff with the diff hidden.

Inputs

  • mode: create (default) or rewrite.
  • Current working tree state (git status, git diff HEAD): required in create mode, gathered by the skill.
  • Current branch and recent commit history (git branch --show-current, git log --oneline -10): required, gathered by the skill.
  • Resolved remote default branch (git rev-parse --abbrev-ref origin/HEAD): optional; falls back to gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name', then to main.
  • Repo commit-message convention in already-loaded project instructions: optional; used directly without re-reading.
  • An issue or tracker number, when one exists: optional; prefixed into the branch name and referenced in the commit footer.
  • The target platform (GitHub or GitLab): required only when closing issues cross-repo or cross-project.
  • User decision on creating a feature branch in detached HEAD state: required only in create mode when the repo is in detached HEAD.
  • Rewrite: the target commit or range, HEAD (default) or a short unpushed range (HEAD~N..HEAD); the intended message text for each target, supplied by the user or derived from the existing message, never invented; confirmation when any target commit is already pushed to a shared remote, required before proceeding.

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.
