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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00057 | $0.00375 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00187 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
codex-review-commit-message 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 8d 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.
What it actually says
Review a commit message
The caller supplies a repository root and optionally --amend. Work read-only. Don't trust the caller's summary. Never write a review stamp.
Gather COMMIT_AGENTMSG, the staged name-status and patch, and five recent subjects. For --amend, compare against HEAD~1 so the review covers the complete amended commit rather than only the new staged delta. A missing draft or empty applicable diff is a finding.
Check:
- The diff must support every claim. Reject counts, unverified results, selling language, and provenance about requests, sessions, prompts, models, or tools.
- The body explains why the change exists instead of spelling out the diff or repeating the subject.
- The subject is Conventional Commits form, imperative, present tense, 10 to 80 characters, and has no trailing period.
- Body lines are at most 72 characters, footer lines at most 100, and the message is plain text.
Assisted-byprecedesSigned-off-by. No assistant appears asCo-authored-by. - The staged change is one logical, independently revertible change. Name separate groups when it isn't.
Return exactly one form:
VERDICT: PASS
or:
VERDICT: CHANGES REQUIRED
1. `<exact text or staged group>` — <problem>. Fix: <specific correction>.
Report every instance in one pass. Don't edit files, stage paths, or run mutating Git commands.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

codex-review-commit-message is a skill published in the GitHub repository tbhb/vale-ai-tells (86 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT.
