commit

commit is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for creating local Git commits, optionally creating a typed branch, and formatting history for changelog generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect changes, stage selected files, create conventional commit messages with version and issue information, and verify the resulting history.
Why use it?
It keeps related changes separated and makes commit history understandable to people and tools that derive releases or issue closures from it.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Good fit Use it to inspect changes, stage selected files, create conventional commit messages with version and issue information, and verify the resulting history.

    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 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.

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.

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.
