generate-commit-message is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from theonedev/tod. It costs 64 tokens per session (636 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Git commit-message drafting workflow for OneDev, a platform for hosting code repositories and pull requests. It reads the applicable message rules and describes the current changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft a compliant commit message for staged or unstaged changes in a OneDev repository.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of proposing a commit message that violates branch or pull-request requirements.

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

generate-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 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.

Generate a OneDev commit message

Compose a commit message for the current change using requirements reported by OneDev.

Prerequisites

  • tod is installed and configured.
  • The current OneDev repository contains staged or unstaged changes to describe.

Pull request context

When the commit belongs to an existing or planned pull request, fetch both the branch and pull request requirements. The message must satisfy every non-empty requirement.

Workflow

  1. Read the commit-message requirements.

    Get the current branch requirement:

    tod get-commit-message-requirement
    

    In pull request context, also get the PR requirement:

    tod pr get-commit-message-requirement --target-project <target-project> --target-branch <target-branch> 
    

    For an existing PR, use values from its detail. For a planned PR, use the values or omissions planned for tod pr create.

    Empty output from either requirement command means no requirement from that source. When both are empty, fall back to a sensible default (short imperative subject, blank line, then body).

  2. Inspect the change. Use git to see exactly what will be committed so the message accurately describes it:

    git status
    git diff --cached         # staged changes
    git diff                  # unstaged changes (only if nothing is staged)
    
  3. Build the subject. Derive a concise imperative subject from the diff in step 2. Focus on the dominant change, not every touched file, and mention the affected component when it makes the change easier to scan in git log. Keep the subject short (~50 chars) unless a requirement from step 1 says otherwise.

  4. Write the body. Add a blank line after the subject, then explain why the change was made and any non-obvious trade-offs, impact, or follow-ups. Wrap lines at ~72 chars. Skip the body only for trivial commits where the subject is fully self-describing.

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.
