conventional-commits

conventional-commits is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from patricio0312rev/skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,104 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A commit-message writer that follows Conventional Commits, a shared format using labels such as feature, fix, or documentation. It can include the affected area, breaking changes, and issue references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write commit messages for staged changes, record breaking changes, link issues, and support automated changelog generation.
Why use it?
Inconsistent commit messages make project history harder to search and prevent automated release notes or versioning from working reliably. This gives changes a predictable format.

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

conventional-commits 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 9d 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.

Conventional Commits

Write standardized, semantic commit messages that enable automated versioning and changelog generation.

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze changes: Review staged files and modifications
  2. Determine type: Select appropriate commit type (feat, fix, etc.)
  3. Identify scope: Optional component/module affected
  4. Write description: Concise summary in imperative mood
  5. Add body: Optional detailed explanation
  6. Include footer: Breaking changes, issue references

Commit Message Format

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Commit Types

Type Description Semver Example
feat New feature MINOR feat: add user authentication
fix Bug fix PATCH fix: resolve login redirect loop
docs Documentation only - docs: update API reference
style Formatting, whitespace - style: fix indentation in utils
refactor Code change, no feature/fix - refactor: extract validation logic
perf Performance improvement PATCH perf: optimize database queries
test Adding/fixing tests - test: add unit tests for auth
build Build system, dependencies - build: upgrade to Node 20
ci CI/CD configuration - ci: add GitHub Actions workflow
chore Maintenance tasks - chore: update .gitignore
revert Revert previous commit - revert: undo feature flag change

Scopes

Scopes indicate the area of the codebase affected:

# Component/module scopes
feat(auth): add OAuth2 support
fix(api): handle timeout errors
docs(readme): add installation steps

# File-based scopes
style(eslint): update linting rules
build(docker): optimize image size

# Layer scopes
refactor(service): extract user service
test(e2e): add checkout flow tests

Breaking Changes

Mark breaking changes with ! or BREAKING CHANGE footer:

# Using ! notation
feat(api)!: change response format to JSON:API

# Using footer
feat(api): change response format

BREAKING CHANGE: Response now follows JSON:API specification.
Clients must update their parsers.

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.
