codexspec:commit-staged

A skill that examines already staged Git changes and writes a commit message following Conventional Commits, a common format such as feat, fix, or docs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing staged changes when you need a compliant commit message and a quick check of project-specific commit guidance.
Why use it?
It checks the project's optional rules and configuration first, so the suggested message can match the repository's conventions and preferred language.

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

codexspec:commit-staged 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Constitution Compliance (MANDATORY)

Before generating commit messages:

  1. Check for Constitution File: Look for .codexspec/memory/constitution.md
  2. If Constitution Exists:
    • Load and read relevant principles (especially coding standards, commit conventions)
    • Ensure commit message style aligns with constitutional guidelines
    • Verify that the changes being committed don't violate any principles
  3. If No Constitution Exists: Proceed with default Conventional Commits format

Configuration Check

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, check if the project configuration exists.

Execution Steps

  1. Check Configuration File

    • Check if .codexspec/config.yml exists
    • This is a simple file existence check, no parsing needed at this stage
  2. If Configuration Does NOT Exist

    • Display a one-time prompt:

      💡 Project language is not configured. Run `$codexspec:config` to create a configuration file.
      
    • Use default values for current session:

      • language.output: "en"
      • language.commit: "en"
      • language.templates: "en"
    • Continue with command execution normally

  3. If Configuration Exists

    • Proceed to ## Language Preference section
    • Read configuration and apply language settings as before
  4. Session State (Implicit)

    • The prompt is shown only once per conversation session
    • Claude's conversation context naturally maintains this state
    • No additional mechanism needed

Language Preference

IMPORTANT: Before generating commit messages, read the project's language configuration from .codexspec/config.yml.

Commit message language priority:

  1. If language.commit is set, use that language for the commit message description
  2. Otherwise, use language.output as fallback
  3. If neither is configured, default to English

Note:

  • The commit type (feat, fix, docs, etc.) and scope should always remain in English
  • Only the description part should use the configured language
  • Technical terms (e.g., API, JWT, OAuth) may remain in English when appropriate

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.
