conventional-commits

name	conventional-commits
description	Use when writing git commit messages in this repository. Enforces the project's conventional commit format — type prefix, GitHub issue reference, and atomic commits — as defined in .gitmessage and .github/COMMIT_CONVENTION.md.

Conventional Commits

When creating any git commit in this repository, follow the project's commit convention. Unlike the /commit command (which the user invokes explicitly), this skill applies automatically whenever a commit message is being authored.

Format

Single-line, when a GitHub issue applies:

<type>: (#<issue_number>) <issue_name> - <description>.

Single-line, when no GitHub issue applies:

<type>: <description>.

Multiline, when the change spans multiple concerns:

<type>: (#<issue_number>) <issue_name>:
- <description_line_1>.
- <description_line_2>.

Rules

• <type> is exactly one of: New feature, Fix issue, Other.
• Single-line messages end with .; the first line of a multiline message ends with :.
• Every bullet starts with - and ends with ..
• Use present tense, imperative mood ("add feature", not "added feature").
• Keep commits atomic — one logical concern per commit. Split unrelated changes into separate commits.
• NEVER add trailers such as "Generated with Claude Code", author info, or co-author lines.
