commit-standards

commit-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ValorVie/custom-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,645 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing Git commit messages in a consistent format. Git is the tool developers use to track changes to code, and a commit records one set of changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, reviewing, or correcting commit messages, including messages for features, bug fixes, tests, documentation, and releases.
Why use it?
It makes commit history easier to scan and understand, especially when many developers work on the same project.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00044 $0.01645

Security

Grade A, and why

commit-standards 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 5d 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.

Commit Message Standards

Language: English | 繁體中文

Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-12-24 Applicability: Claude Code Skills


Core Standard: This skill implements Commit Message Guide. For comprehensive methodology documentation, refer to the core standard.

Purpose

This skill ensures consistent, meaningful commit messages following conventional commits.

Quick Reference

Basic Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Commit Types

English When to Use
feat New feature
fix Bug fix
refactor Code refactoring (no functional change)
docs Documentation only
style Formatting (no code logic change)
test Adding or updating tests
perf Performance improvement
build Build system or dependencies
ci CI/CD pipeline changes
chore Maintenance tasks
revert Revert previous commit
security Security vulnerability fix

Subject Line Rules

  1. Length: ≤72 characters (50 ideal)
  2. Tense: Imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
  3. Capitalization: First letter capitalized
  4. No period: Don't end with a period

Detailed Guidelines

For complete standards, see:

AI-Optimized Format (Token-Efficient)

For AI assistants, use the YAML format files for reduced token usage:

  • Base standard: ai/standards/commit-message.ai.yaml
  • Language options:
    • English: ai/options/commit-message/english.ai.yaml
    • Traditional Chinese: ai/options/commit-message/traditional-chinese.ai.yaml
    • Bilingual: ai/options/commit-message/bilingual.ai.yaml

Examples

✅ Good Examples

feat(auth): Add OAuth2 Google login support
fix(api): Resolve memory leak in user session cache
refactor(database): Extract query builder to separate class
docs(readme): Update installation instructions for Node 20

Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.

Changes

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.
