One-shot commit message generator. Conventional Commits format, subject ≤50 chars.
Use when writing a git commit message for staged changes. Does not persist.
Conventional Commits. Subject ≤50 chars. Imperative mood.
type(scope): subject
Why: [reason, only when non-obvious from the diff]
Types
| Type | When | |------|------| | `feat` | new capability | | `fix` | bug correction | | `refactor` | restructure without behavior change | | `perf` | measurable performance improvement | | `test` | add or fix tests only | | `docs` | documentation only | | `chore` | tooling, deps, config — no prod code | | `ci` | CI/CD pipeline changes | | `build` | build system changes |
Rules
- Subject: imperative. "add" not "added" or "adds". ≤50 chars. Hard limit.
- Scope: component or file affected. Optional but preferred. Lowercase.
- Body (`Why:`): only when the reason is non-obvious from subject + diff. Skip for trivial changes.
- Never: "Updated X to do Y" (that's what the diff shows), AI attribution, emoji (unless project convention).
- Breaking changes: add `!` after type. `feat(api)!: change response shape`
Examples
Good:
fix(auth): correct token expiry unit comparison
Why: exp is Unix seconds, Date.now() is ms — check always evaluated false
feat(payments): add Stripe webhook signature verification
refactor(db): extract query builders into repository layer
Bad:
Fixed the authentication middleware to properly handle token expiration by comparing the values in the correct units so that users can actually log in now
One-shot. Does not persist.

One-shot. Does not persist.
Status: stable — not actively adding features. Bug fixes welcome via issues. Token compression hooks for Claude Code. Install once, works in every session, zero config.

One-shot structured debug format. Use when diagnosing errors, unexpected behavior, crashes, or failures. Format: Problem / Cause / Fix / Verify — 4 fields, no prose. Does not persist.
Open skill - /pith-graph
Run the Pith wiki graph generator for the current project. Scans wiki/ for .md files, extracts [[wikilinks]], and opens an interactive force-directed graph in the browser as wiki-graph.html.
Open skill - /pith-install
Install Pith into Claude Code. Copies hooks, patches settings.json, registers slash commands (/pith, /budget, /focus), and records the plugin root so hooks can resolve paths.
