ase-repo-commit

ase-repo-commit is a skill for Claude Code from rse/ase. It costs 14 tokens per session (735 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A commit-message writer that reads the changes staged in Git—the edits prepared for the next commit—and proposes a short message describing them. It uses a fixed change type such as feature, bug fix, cleanup, or refactoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need an imperative Git commit message based on the current staged changes.
Why use it?
It avoids having to reconstruct the change's purpose and phrase a concise, consistent commit message yourself.

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

ase-repo-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 16d 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.

What it actually says

@${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../meta/ase-control.md @${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../meta/ase-skill.md @${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../meta/ase-getopt.md

  1. Run the following command to find out details of what changes are currently staged in the Git index for commit, capturing its output into :

    git diff --cached

  2. Craft a commit in the following format:

    <type/>: <summary/>

    The known s (kept deliberately in sync with the intent groups of the ase-repo-diff and ase-repo-changelog skills) and their usual corresponding kind of change are:

    • FEATURE: new functionality or configuration
    • IMPROVEMENT: improved functionality or configuration
    • BUGFIX: corrected functionality or configuration
    • UPDATE: updated functionality or configuration
    • CLEANUP: cleaned up functionality or configuration
    • REFACTOR: refactored functionality or configuration

    The rules for generating are:

    • Use a maximum of 60-80 characters
    • Use imperative mood ("add" not "added")
    • Use no period at the end
    • Use no Markdown formatting

    Output this crafted commit message with the following :

    Do not output any further explanation.

    Finally, give the closing hint by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured , may expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

    The staged changes do not touch CHANGELOG.md -- use /ase-repo-changelog to update its entries before committing.

Files

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.

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.
