GitHub Commit & PR Conventions

Apply these rules every time you make a commit or create/update a PR. No exceptions unless the user explicitly overrides.


1. Commit Message Format

Always use Conventional Commits prefix. Choose based on the most significant change in the diff:

Prefix When to use
feat: New feature, new capability, new endpoint, new component
fix: Bug fix, incorrect behavior corrected, crash resolved
chore: Config changes, dependency updates, refactors, tooling, cleanup, CI/CD, docs

Priority rule: If a commit contains both a feat and a fix, use feat:. If it contains a fix and a chore, use fix:. In short: feat > fix > chore.
