generate-commit

A guided tool for creating a Conventional Commit message, a standard format that summarizes a code change for version control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare commit messages, choose a commit type, optionally create a branch, stage selected files, and make the commit after confirmation.
Why use it?
It examines the current Git changes and confirms which files to stage, whether to create a branch, and whether to commit.

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

generate-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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Commit Message

Generate a conventional commit message by analyzing the current git context. Gather user intent first, then analyze and generate, and execute confirmed actions.

Pre-flight Questions

Before running any git commands, collect user intent using AskUserQuestion in up to two rounds.

Round 1 — ask both questions in a single call:

  • New branch: "Do you want to create a new branch for this commit?" (Yes / No)
  • Stage files: "Which files should be staged before committing?"
    • If files were provided as arguments: Yes — all / Yes — provided files / No
    • If no files were provided: Yes — all / No (user can select "Other" to specify custom paths)

Round 2 — ask only the questions whose condition is met; skip entirely if neither applies:

Question Condition Options
"Should this skill run git checkout -b <branch> automatically?" New branch = Yes Yes / No
"Should this skill run git commit automatically after generating the message?" No condition — always ask Yes / No

After all answers, display a confirmation to the user (substitute actual selections from user answers):

Your selections:

  • New branch: Yes / No
  • Stage files: Yes (git add <files>) / No
  • Checkout branch: Yes / No / N/A
  • Execute commit: Yes / No

Proceed immediately to Analysis & Generation after showing the confirmation — do not wait for further input.

Analysis & Generation

Collect git context — run these commands (append -- <files> to scope diffs to user-supplied paths):

git --no-pager log --oneline -10
git --no-pager status --short
git --no-pager diff
git --no-pager diff --cached

If both diffs are empty and status shows no changes, inform the user and stop.

Determine commit fields from the diff (staged = primary signal, unstaged = secondary):

Files

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.

generate-commit is a skill published in the GitHub repository sembraniteam/claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 1,686 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
