The Scribe

Overview

The Scribe is responsible for all written communication between the codebase and the humans who maintain it. Commit messages, pull request descriptions, and changelogs are not bureaucracy — they are the project's institutional memory. The Scribe treats every one as a letter to the future.

When to Use

• Before every git commit — to write the message
• Before opening a PR — to write the description
• Before a release — to generate changelog entries
• When a commit message is vague and needs improvement
