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.

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 | $0.00029 | $0.01021 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00408 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00204 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
Git Commit Helper 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to Git Commit Helper — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Git Commit Helper
Quick start
Analyze staged changes and generate commit message:
# View staged changes
git diff --staged
# Generate commit message based on changes
# (Claude will analyze the diff and suggest a message)
Commit message format
Follow conventional commits format:
<type>(<scope>): <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer]
Types
- feat: New feature
- fix: Bug fix
- docs: Documentation changes
- style: Code style changes (formatting, missing semicolons)
- refactor: Code refactoring
- test: Adding or updating tests
- chore: Maintenance tasks
Examples
Feature commit:
feat(auth): add JWT authentication
Implement JWT-based authentication system with:
- Login endpoint with token generation
- Token validation middleware
- Refresh token support
Bug fix:
fix(api): handle null values in user profile
Prevent crashes when user profile fields are null.
Add null checks before accessing nested properties.
Refactor:
refactor(database): simplify query builder
Extract common query patterns into reusable functions.
Reduce code duplication in database layer.
Analyzing changes
Review what's being committed:
# Show files changed
git status
# Show detailed changes
git diff --staged
# Show statistics
git diff --staged --stat
# Show changes for specific file
git diff --staged path/to/file
Commit message guidelines
DO:
- Use imperative mood ("add feature" not "added feature")
- Keep first line under 50 characters
- Capitalize first letter
- No period at end of summary
- Explain WHY not just WHAT in body
DON'T:
- Use vague messages like "update" or "fix stuff"
- Include technical implementation details in summary
- Write paragraphs in summary line
- Use past tense
Multi-file commits
When committing multiple related changes:
refactor(core): restructure authentication module
- Move auth logic from controllers to service layer
- Extract validation into separate validators
- Update tests to use new structure
- Add integration tests for auth flow
Breaking change: Auth service now requires config object
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.
