commit

commit is a skill for Claude Code from technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins. It costs 24 tokens per session (659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for creating Git commits, saved checkpoints of changes in a Git repository. It covers selecting files, writing commit messages, signing commits, and handling automated checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when staging changes, writing commit messages, signing commits, or responding to failed pre-commit checks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid committing unintended files and gives you a consistent way to handle commit errors and hooks.

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

commit 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 23d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Commit

Preferences and best practices for interacting with a git repository.

git add

ALWAYS use git add with specific files that have been updated. NEVER use git add . or git add -A.

IF adding files that look like they are agent configuration, or adding planning documentation, ALWAYS prompt the user to confirm if they should be included or not.

git commit

PREFER writing the commit message to a file under $TMPDIR, named for what is being committed, then commit with git commit -F "$TMPDIR/path-to-message.txt".

Use -F (--file), NEVER -t (--template). A template opens the message in an editor and git aborts if it comes back unchanged (Aborting commit; you did not edit the message.). Agent shells run with a no-op editor, so -t always aborts. The abort comes after pre-commit hooks run, so the failure looks like a hook problem. It isn't; don't reach for --no-verify.

Put any trailers your instructions require (e.g. Co-Authored-By:) at the end of the message file. Writing the message to a file first makes these easy to forget.

scope the commit to your paths

PREFER git commit -F <file> -- <path>... over a bare git commit. A bare commit takes everything currently staged, including files another session or tool staged in the same working tree between your git add and your git commit. Naming the paths commits only what you meant to.

Path-limited commits take the working-tree version of those files, so skip -- <path> when you deliberately staged only some hunks of a file.

signing

We have git commit signing setup. If it fails due to a message like:

error: 1Password: failed to fill whole buffer

fatal: failed to write commit object

... it is because the user was being prompted to authorize signing, and didn't see it or missed it. Do not try to fix or bypass it. Stop and prompt the user about either fixing it, or confirm bypassing it.

hooks

pre-commit failures

When git precommit checks fail, analyze what the failures are, and try to autofix when possible, otherwise think through how to fix it. Ask the user how to proceed when it's unclear if how to fix.

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.

commit is a skill published in the GitHub repository technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 659 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
