There is no enforced title policy in this repo. Two styles appear in roughly equal proportion — use whichever fits the change. Do not mix them (e.g., don't add a fix: prefix to an otherwise plain-imperative title just because it's a bug fix).
Option A — Conventional Commits prefix:
type(optional-scope): short imperative description
fix, feat, chore, build, docsbuild-cli, id-compressor, eslint-config-fluid)fix: Prompt copilot-oce to check for Teams channel repliesfix(build-cli): remove flaky parallel changeset testfeat(devcontainer): add agency installation and update host requirementschore: move misplaced @types/ packages from dependencies to devDependenciesbuild(client): Update type tests after minor release 2.91.0Option B — Plain imperative:
Short imperative or noun-phrase description
Port MessageCodec to ClientVersionDispatchingCodecBuilderRemove tree checkout's branch methodEnsure a summarizer stop request is respected after connectingNever use the [bump] prefix — that is reserved for automated bot PRs.
Always include a ## Description section, even if it is brief and somewhat redundant with the title.
Read .github/pull_request_template.md from the repo root and use it as the starting point for the PR body. Fill in each relevant section, then delete sections and placeholder text that don't apply — do not leave empty sections.
> CI requirement: the preamble line "Feel free to remove or alter parts of this template..." must be removed from the PR body. Leaving it in will cause the .github/workflows/pr-validation.yml check to fail.
## Description: Focus on *why* and *impact*, not just what lines changed. For bug fixes, include repro steps or a test that demonstrates the fix.## Breaking Changes: Only include when a change removes or alters public API surface or behavior in a way that requires consumer action (like migration or build-time updates). Link the wiki page.## Reviewer Guidance: Always include the wiki link line. Add content if you have specific asks; delete the placeholder bullets if you don't. If design questions are unresolved, mark the PR as a draft.AB#<item-id> if applicable (e.g. AB#12345). No dedicated section needed.Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.
Use when the user asks to run Codex CLI (codex exec, codex resume) or references OpenAI Codex for code analysis, refactoring, or automated editing. Uses GPT-5.2 by default for state-of-the-art software engineering.
Implement memory-safe programming with RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management across Rust, C++, and C. Use when writing safe systems code, managing resources, or preventing memory bugs.
Python/HTSlib workflows for genomic files. Use when reading, querying, filtering, or writing SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF/BCF, FASTA/FASTQ, or tabix data with pysam, including pileup, coverage, indexing, and CRAM references.
Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.
Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use `gh` to inspect checks and logs, summarize failure context, draft a fix plan, and implement only after explicit approval. Treat external providers (for example Buildkite) as out of scope and report only the details URL.
Documentation generation workflow covering API docs, architecture docs, README files, code comments, and technical writing.
Use when the user wants to translate a repository README, make a repo multilingual, localize docs, add a language switcher, internationalize the README, or update localized README variants in a GitHub-style repository.
