What is smart-commit?

A Git assistant that examines uncommitted changes, groups related edits, and suggests commit messages that match the project's style.

Use it to prepare batches of commits for manual execution or, with explicit execution, add and commit the grouped changes.

It reduces the effort of turning a messy working tree into clear, focused commits while helping avoid accidentally including sensitive files.

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness --skill smart-commit

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sd0xdev/sd0x-harness

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install sd0x-dev-flow, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 101 skills, 16 agents, 5 hooks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00089	$0.19561
Opus 5.5	$0.00036	$0.07824
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.03912
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.01956

Security

Grade C, and why

smart-commit scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/smart-commit-dispatch.sh, scripts/smart-commit-execute.sh, scripts/smart-commit-inspect.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 835 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Smart Commit

Read first: @skills/push-ci/references/authorization-contract.md before --execute commits anything — § Proactive Offer for the menu and the four Goal mode conditions, § Efficacy Boundary for what the per-use approval authorizes. If that Read fails, stop and report it; commit nothing (manual mode, which only prints commands, is unaffected).

Analyze uncommitted changes → group by cohesion → generate commit messages → output git commands (or execute directly with --execute).

Git Environment Policy (applies to every step below)

Every git command this skill runs itself — read or write, either mode — resolves the same question: which repository, tree, index, ancestry and configuration does it act on? The answer is pinned two ways, both defined in git-environment.md § 1: the inherited GIT_* variables are stripped, and every command carries -C "$REPO_ROOT".

Where the stripping happens depends on who runs git:

Callee	How the policy is applied
A fence running `git` inline	The canonical `env -u` prefix, written out literally — never through a variable, because zsh does not word-split an expansion used as a command prefix
A helper that runs its own git commands and does not strip (`git-profile.sh`)	The prefix goes on the delegation, at the boundary
A helper that strips the same list itself (`smart-commit-inspect.sh`, `smart-commit-execute.sh`)	No prefix — the script's own `unset` block is the policy, and prefixing it as well would state the same rule twice in two places that could drift

What ships with it

5 files 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.

smart-commit is a skill published in the GitHub repository sd0xdev/sd0x-harness (194 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 19,561 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
