name: commit description: Generates commit messages and PR titles using Conventional Commits for Release Please. Use when writing commit messages, squashing commits, or naming PRs so releases and version bumps are correct.

Conventional Commits (Release Please)

Releases are driven by Release Please: conventional commits on main produce a Release PR. Use this format so versions and release notes are correct.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <short description>

[optional body]

• type: feat (minor), fix (patch), docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore
• scope: optional, e.g. auth, cogs, docker
• description: imperative, lowercase after colon, no period at end

Examples

feat(translations): add DeepL language detection
fix(admin): correct permission check for kick command
chore(deps): bump discord-py to 2.7.1
docs: update AGENTS.md with Helm install command

Rules

• Use imperative in description: "add feature" not "added feature".
• feat and fix drive version bumps; other types don't (but still use conventional format).
• No manual CHANGELOG or version edits—Release Please updates pyproject.toml and charts/pibot/Chart.yaml.
