give-me-a-commit-message

A tool that suggests a Git commit message from your staged and unstaged changes. Git is the system developers use to track code changes, and Conventional Commits is a common format for describing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing repository changes and producing a concise commit message to copy. It does not create the commit.
Why use it?
It removes the need to write a commit message from scratch and can include a ticket number found in the branch name.

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

give-me-a-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 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.

What it actually says

Suggest Commit Message

Analyze the current changes and suggest a commit message. Do NOT commit or push.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Context

Run these in parallel:

  • git diff --staged — staged changes
  • git diff — unstaged changes
  • git status — overview of modified/new/deleted files
  • git branch --show-current — current branch name
  • git log --oneline -5 — recent commits for style reference

Step 2: Extract Ticket ID

From the branch name, extract any ticket ID pattern (e.g., PROJ-1234, FEAT-567, BUG-42).

  • Pattern: uppercase letters + hyphen + numbers (e.g., [A-Z]+-\d+)
  • If found, prefix the commit message with it

Step 3: Generate Message

Write a commit message following these rules:

  • If a ticket ID was found, format as: TICKET-ID: Description
  • Match the style of recent commits in the repo
  • First line: concise summary under 72 characters
  • If the change is non-trivial, add a blank line then a short body explaining the "why"
  • Focus on why the change was made, not what changed (the diff shows that)

Step 4: Output

Present the suggested message like this:

Suggested commit message:

TICKET-ID: Short description of the change

Optional body explaining why, if needed.

Then say: "Copy and use with git commit -m \"...\", or ask me to refine it."

Do NOT run git commit, git add, or git push. Only suggest.

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.
