Commit message and branch convention — Conventional Commits format with a Linear issue reference required in subject or body. Includes the canonical commitlint.config.cjs, Husky hook snippet, and opencommit configuration. Read whenever setting up a new project or wiring AI-assisted commits.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Factory commits Each section leads with **Principle** (one sentence, stack-agnostic), then **Why** (constraint → option → tradeoff), then **Recipe** (the commitlint / Husky / opencommit shape we use), and **Failure mode** when there's one to name. ## Tie every commit to a Linear issue **Principle.** Every commit references a Linear issue ID in the subject or body; the commit hook enforces it. **Why.** Code changes without ticket linkage are unsearchable history — six months later, "why did we change this?" has no answer that doesn't require a full archaeology session. Linear linkage makes the graph dense: ticket → PR → commit → context → decision. Each link is cheap up front; the lookup savings compound. Enforcement via commit-msg hook is the difference between "we should" and "we do." **Recipe.** A commit message MUST: 1. Start with a Conventional Commits header: `<type>(<scope>)?: <subject>` (scope optional). 2. Contain a Linear issue ID (`<TEAM>-<NUM>`, e.g. `NON-45`) somewhere — subject **or** body. 3. Use a Linear magic word + ID for the commit that should close the issue. …

How to install
mdr add nonlinear-xyz/factory-kit/factory-commits@sha256:a0996c147c7e5672The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.517fb94, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
