Polaris: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/conventional-commits/SKILL.md

conventional-commits is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sponge-b0b/Polaris. It costs 47 tokens per session (773 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A commit-message rule based on the Conventional Commits standard, which gives Git changes a consistent format such as a type, affected area, and short action.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write and check messages when saving staged changes, drafting a Git commit, or finishing a coding task.
Why use it?
It prevents vague or inconsistent commit messages, making the project history easier to understand and use for automated release work.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is sponge-b0b/Polaris's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Polaris 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 Polaris 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 A, and why

conventional-commits 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 9d 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 Guidelines

Objective

Structure every Git commit message in strict compliance with the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 specification. Never write generic, conversational, or vague commit summaries (e.g., do not use "wip", "updated files", or "fixed bug").

Message Structure Blueprint

Every commit message must follow this structural schema exactly:

<type>[scope]: <description>

[optional body describing why the change was made]
  • Type: Must be entirely lowercase. Use only the approved structural types listed below.
  • Scope: Required. Represents the specific software layer or folder module modified, wrapped in lowercase parentheses (e.g., (reranker), (api), (db)).
  • Description: Written in the imperative mood (e.g., use add instead of added, fix instead of fixes). Do not capitalize the first letter and do not add a trailing period.

Approved Structural Types

Map code changes strictly to these categories:

  • feat(scope): Used when introducing a brand-new application feature or operational capability to the codebase.
  • fix(scope): Used when correcting an active bug, permission block, error log, or software crash.
  • docs(scope): Used for changes restricted entirely to documentation layout text, markdown headers, and user guides.
  • chore(scope): Used for routine maintenance operations: package/dependency management, editing configurations (.gitignore, pyproject.toml, .graphifyignore), or adding static asset/image files.
  • refactor(scope): Used for optimization or structural alterations to production code that do not change its runtime features or behavior.
  • test(scope): Used when generating unit tests, increasing coverage matrix setups, or altering testing suites.
  • ci(scope): Used for orchestration scripts, automated pipelines, deployment assets, or Docker Compose structures.

Handling Breaking Changes

If an engineering operation changes the system's foundational layout or breaks backward compatibility, append an exclamation point (!) directly to the commit type prefix and write BREAKING CHANGE: in the commit message body explaining the required manual migration layout steps. Example: feat(db)!: switch token storage mapping to postgresql

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.

conventional-commits is a skill published in the GitHub repository sponge-b0b/Polaris (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 773 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
