git-commit-helper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,296 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing clear Git commit messages and preparing versioned releases. It explains conventional commits, semantic versioning, and changelog generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect staged changes, classify them as features or fixes, write commit messages, decide version changes, and prepare changelogs or releases.
Why use it?
It makes project history easier to understand and helps automated tools determine version bumps and release notes.

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

git-commit-helper 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.

Git Commit Helper

Overview

Enforce conventional commit standards, guide semantic versioning decisions, generate changelogs, and ensure commit message quality. This skill provides a structured approach to version control communication that enables automated tooling and clear project history.

Phase 1: Analyze Changes

Analyze the staged diff to understand what was changed:

git diff --cached --stat
git diff --cached
  1. Identify the files and modules affected
  2. Determine the nature of the change (new feature, bug fix, refactoring, etc.)
  3. Check if the change is breaking (API changes, removed features, changed contracts)

STOP — Do NOT write a commit message until you understand the full scope of changes.

Phase 2: Classify and Compose

Commit Type Decision Table

Type When to Use Version Bump Example
feat New feature for the user MINOR feat(auth): add OAuth2 login flow
fix Bug fix for the user PATCH fix(api): handle null response in user endpoint
docs Documentation only changes None docs(readme): update installation steps
style Formatting, missing semicolons, etc. None style(lint): fix trailing whitespace
refactor Code change with no behavior change None refactor(utils): extract date formatting helpers
perf Performance improvement PATCH perf(query): add index for user lookup
test Adding or correcting tests None test(auth): add login failure scenarios
chore Maintenance, deps, tooling None chore(deps): update typescript to 5.4
ci CI/CD configuration changes None ci(github): add Node 20 to test matrix
build Build system or external dependencies None build(webpack): optimize chunk splitting

Conventional Commit Format

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Scope Guidelines

Scope should identify the area of the codebase affected:

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.
