Getting it into your agent
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.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.03370 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.01685 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00674 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00337 |
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) orrewrite.- 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 togh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name', then tomain. - 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 ships with it
1 file 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.
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 OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development (52 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,370 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
git-branchless
Use when asked for multi-commit stack edits, rebases, fixups, or stacked-PR publishing with branchless git idioms. Not for plain-git workflows in repos without branchless.
github-operations
WORKFLOW SKILL — Full GitHub contribution lifecycle: branches, conventional commits, issues, PRs, Actions, releases. gh CLI-first with MCP fallback. WHEN: "commit", "push", "open PR", "create branch", "create issue", "cut release", "GitHub operation". DO NOT USE FOR: Azure infrastructure, Bicep/Terraform code…
git-github-flow
Use for branch prep, clean commits, PR descriptions, GitHub issue triage, changelogs, release notes, review response, merge readiness, or publishing a branch safely.
git-workflows
Use when thinking through, reviewing, changing, or verifying Git repositories and version-control workflows: branches, commits, merges, rebases, cherry-picks, conflicts, worktrees, remotes, pull-request workflows, hosted review state, protected refs, force pushes, tags, semantic versions, release branches, history…
commit-push
Use when asked to commit and push to a feature branch off the default branch, with no pull request. Not for a PR: use commit-push-pr. Not for the checked-out branch: use commit-push-current.
simplify
Use when the user says "simplify this diff" or asks for a compression pass over a change-set. Not for dead-code sweeps: use deslop.
