# Skill: update-conventions Edits to `docs/CONVENTIONS.md` and `docs/CHARTER.md` are not normal PRs — they change how everyone works in the repo. They go through RFC review. ## Procedure 1. **Push back if the user starts editing directly.** Conventions changes are high-leverage; they should be deliberated. 2. Open an RFC instead. Use the `new-rfc` skill, with the RFC scoped to "change conventions section X to Y". The RFC's *Proposal* section should contain the specific edited text — the diff, essentially. 3. After the RFC is accepted, the actual edit to `CONVENTIONS.md` is a small PR that cites the RFC in the commit footer: ``` docs(conventions): adopt RFC-NNNN — <one-line summary> Implements RFC-NNNN: <link> ``` 4. Update the RFC's *Follow-on artifacts* section to point at the merged commit. ## Exception Trivial edits — typo fixes, broken-link fixes, formatting — don't need an RFC. A normal PR is fine. If you're not sure, err toward RFC: the cost of an extra RFC is small; the cost of an unannounced rule change is large.
