For the commit message format itself (conventional commits,
types, scopes, subject and body rules), see commit-format.
This skill covers the operational conventions: when to commit,
what goes in each commit, and how to manage history.
Each commit should be one concern:
If you find yourself writing "and" in the subject line, it's probably two commits.
--force-with-lease over --force when rewriting
remote.--amend. Make a new commit instead.
Amending rewrites history and is almost never worth it.
A new commit is cleaner and preserves the work trail.
If the previous commit has a mistake, fix it forward
with a new commit.development
Structure of a quest README and the documents that live under it: frontmatter shape, the four core and four optional body sections, emoji glyphs, ID format, alias notation, Cast bullets and Journey entries. Use when writing or editing a quest README, a plan, research, brief or report document under a quest. Pairs with quest-convention for choices like kind, promotion and reordering. Follow the prose-standard for voice.

Operational conventions for the quest system: when to use a quest versus a subquest versus a sidequest, when to scaffold a plan or research document, how to reorder priorities, when to add optional sections, when to conclude versus retire, the resuscitate pattern. Use when driving the quest tool, deciding kind, promoting or parking work, or organising a project as quests. Pairs with quest-format for the on-disk shape.

Markdown structure rules: Title Case headings with their exceptions, the line-width target and its legitimate exceptions, reference-style links, fenced code blocks with language tags, tables and lists. Use when writing or editing any markdown file (README, AGENTS, docs, plans, skill files), or when adding a heading, link, table or code block. Owns markdown structure; pairs with prose-standard, which owns voice, grammar, spelling and punctuation.

How to measure whether convention corrections keep recurring in the pi session logs, by category and by week. Use to record a baseline before the convention gates take effect and to re-run afterwards to confirm the recurring categories bend down. Pairs with the convention gates (pr-guardian, issue-guardian, commit-guardian, slack-integration) and the convention-context extension.
