# Conventional Commits, skill reference
Canonical rules for the Conventional Commits format (https://www.conventionalcommits.org/). One single source of truth: if an agent or a slash command needs to validate a commit message, it loads this skill.
## When to apply
- Writing a commit message
- Reviewing the commits in a pull request
- Generating a CHANGELOG from git history
- Configuring `commitlint`, `husky` commit-msg hook, or equivalent
- Onboarding a new contributor to the convention
## Rule categories
| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
|----------|----------|--------|--------|
| 1 | Message format | HIGH | `format-` |
| 2 | Breaking changes | HIGH | `breaking-` |
| 3 | Tooling integration (future) | MEDIUM | `tooling-` |
## How to use
