Opinionated Enforcement Defaults

Pack: engineering Parent skill: Setup Conventional Commits Source: engineering/setup-conventional-commits/references/opinionated-enforcement-defaults.md Default stack:

• Conventional Commits
• commitlint
• Husky commit-msg hook only if the repo wants local hooks

Not default:

• commitizen
• large interactive commit flows
• heavy pre-commit enforcement for commit syntax

Minimal config:

1. install @commitlint/cli
2. install @commitlint/config-conventional
3. add commitlint.config.cjs
4. add a commit-msg hook

Why this default:

• low maintenance
• low friction
• widely understood
• easy to port to new repos

What tooling does not solve:

• choosing the right type
• splitting broad commits
• writing a summary with real intent

That part still needs repo policy or workflow guidance.
