medusa-commits-and-releases is a skill for Claude Code from Skowt/medusa. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,376 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for writing commits and preparing Medusa software releases. Commits are saved changes, while a release is a published version of the software.

In plain words

Why use it?
It keeps commit messages consistent so the release tool can create focused release notes and follows the repository's release procedure.

Skill for Claude Code

This is Skowt/medusa's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on medusa itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything medusa configures →

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 C, and why

medusa-commits-and-releases scanned grade C with 2 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

medusa commits and releases

Commit format

Commit subjects follow a conventional-commit-lite convention. The .goreleaser.yml changelog filters depend on these prefixes to keep release notes focused on user-facing changes.

Subject line: <prefix>: <imperative summary> — ≤72 chars, lowercase after the prefix.

Allowed prefixes:

Prefix Meaning Surfaces in release notes?
feat: New user-facing feature Yes
fix: Bug fix Yes
refactor: Code restructuring, no behavior change Yes
perf: Performance improvement Yes
docs: Documentation only No
test: Tests only No
ci: CI/workflow/tooling No
chore: Routine maintenance, deps, housekeeping No

Optional PR reference at end of subject: (#123). GoReleaser carries it through to release notes; useful for linking context.

Body is optional. Include one when the why isn't obvious from the diff (hidden constraint, subtle invariant, reason for an unusual approach). Don't restate the what — the diff shows that.

Examples

fix: correct typo in copy gitignored files checkbox label
feat: add restart option to close tab dialog (#42)
refactor: extract PTY catch-up flush into dedicated helper
chore: bump tmux minimum version note

Anti-examples

Update stuff                              # no prefix, vague subject
feat: Added A Thing.                      # capitalized, period, past tense
Fix: bug in thing                         # wrong case, no detail
feat: massive overhaul of the state
machine plus some drive-by cleanups       # multi-purpose commit, unclear scope

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.
