Write clear technical prose for anything that lives in a repository or on a forge: commit messages, PR titles and descriptions, PR and code review comments, issue text, READMEs, documentation, changelogs, ADRs, code comments, error and log messages.

A one-line commit message or a two-sentence review comment looks too small to need a skill, and that is exactly where the tells show up. Not for prose that needs a personal voice, such as blog posts, essays, or launch announcements.

If the repository requires Conventional Commits, use `<type>[optional scope]: <description>`, `!` or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer for incompatible changes, and any required trailers. Do not infer a convention from this skill's examples.

The subject carries the change, and most cha
