Conventional Pull Request Titles

This pack uses Conventional Commits to keep pull request titles readable and release-note tooling predictable. The title is validated; individual commit messages remain a team choice.

Title Format​

Use type(scope): Subject, with scope optional. For example:

feat(frontend): Add pack audit output
fix: Handle missing local source
docs(backend): Clarify pack installation

Titles must use sentence case, stay within 144 characters, and name one of the supported types:

  • build for build tooling or dependencies
  • ci for continuous-integration configuration
  • docs for documentation-only changes
  • feat for product capabilities
  • fix for defect corrections
  • revert for reversing a prior change
  • release for a release title

Scopes are optional. When present, choose frontend, or backend. Append ! after the type or scope when the change is breaking, such as feat(cli)!: Change the pack manifest format.

The installed .commitlintrc.cjs contains the exact enforcement rules. Its post-install hook adds the Commitlint CLI and conventional configuration as development dependencies.
