conventional-commits

conventional-commits is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from surajssd/dotfiles. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A standard format for Git commit messages, which record changes made to a codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating commits, with labels such as feature, bug fix, documentation, testing, or build changes.
Why use it?
Consistent messages make project history easier to understand and support automatic changelogs and version updates.

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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/commitlint.config.mjs, scripts/validate-commit-msg.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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conventional Commits

Format all commit messages according to the Conventional Commits specification. This enables automated changelog generation, semantic versioning, and better commit history.

Format Structure

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Commit Types

SemVer-Mapped Core Types

Use these types when they match the change; they are the only types with implicit SemVer meaning in the specification:

  • feat: - A new feature (correlates with MINOR in Semantic Versioning)
  • fix: - A bug fix (correlates with PATCH in Semantic Versioning)

Common Additional Types

  • docs: - Documentation only changes
  • style: - Code style changes (formatting, missing semicolons, etc.)
  • refactor: - Code refactoring without bug fixes or new features
  • perf: - Performance improvements
  • test: - Adding or updating tests
  • build: - Build system or external dependencies changes
  • ci: - CI/CD configuration changes
  • chore: - Other changes that don't modify src or test files
  • revert: - Reverts a previous commit

Scope

An optional scope provides additional contextual information about the section of the codebase:

feat(parser): add ability to parse arrays
fix(auth): resolve token expiration issue
docs(readme): update installation instructions

Description

  • Must immediately follow the colon and space after the type/scope

Style recommendations:

  • Use imperative mood ("add feature" not "added feature" or "adds feature")
  • Don't capitalize the first letter
  • No period at the end
  • Prefer 72 characters or fewer (including type and scope)
  • Recommended: 50 characters or fewer for better readability

Body

  • Optional longer description providing additional context
  • Must begin one blank line after the description
  • Can consist of multiple paragraphs
  • Explain the "what" and "why" of the change, not the "how"

What ships with it

4 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.
