conventional-commit

A rule for writing Git commit messages in the Conventional Commits format, a shared structure that labels changes such as features, fixes, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever code changes need to be committed, including checking the changes and identifying breaking changes.
Why use it?
It keeps commit history consistent and makes the kind of change clear to people and tools reading it.

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-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 2d 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.

Instructions

When the user asks to commit changes:

  1. Analyze the changes by running:

    • git status to see all modified/added/deleted files
    • git diff --staged to see staged changes
    • git diff to see unstaged changes
    • git log -5 --oneline to match the repository's commit style
  2. Determine the commit type (REQUIRED):

    Type Description SemVer
    feat New feature MINOR
    fix Bug fix PATCH
    docs Documentation only -
    style Formatting, no code change -
    refactor Code change, no feature/fix -
    perf Performance improvement -
    test Adding/updating tests -
    build Build system or dependencies -
    ci CI configuration -
    chore Other changes -
  3. Identify breaking changes:

    • Append "!" after type/scope for breaking changes: "feat!:" or "feat(api)!:"
    • Add "BREAKING CHANGE:" footer for detailed explanation
    • Breaking changes trigger MAJOR version bump
  4. Write the commit message:

    • Description MUST immediately follow the colon and space
    • Description is a short summary in imperative mood
    • Body MUST begin one blank line after description
    • Footers MUST begin one blank line after body
  5. Stage and commit:

    • Stage relevant files with git add
    • Create commit with the generated message
    • Show git status after to confirm success
    • DO NOT add any Claude Code references, co-author tags, or "Generated with" footers

Specification Rules

  • Type MUST be a noun (feat, fix, etc.)
  • Scope MUST be a noun in parentheses describing codebase section
  • Description MUST use imperative mood ("add" not "added")
  • Body is free-form, may have multiple paragraphs
  • Footer token MUST use - instead of spaces (except BREAKING CHANGE)
  • BREAKING CHANGE MUST be uppercase
  • NEVER include AI-generated markers, Claude Code references, or Co-Authored-By: Claude footers

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.
