The Lossless Group's git commit message conventions — structured headers with action verbs and effort groupings, paragraph-spaced bodies that explain impact before implementation, and "Also included" riders for minor changes. Use when writing commit messages, reviewing commits, or when the user mentions "commit message format", "git conventions", or asks how to structure a commit.
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
# Git Conventions
The Lossless Group's conventions for git commit messages — making history readable, searchable, and useful for future-you.
**Status:** Initial scaffold (May 2026) — documenting observed patterns from lossless-monorepo.
## When to use this skill
- Writing commit messages (any repo)
- Reviewing commits before push
- Teaching commit conventions to collaborators
- User asks "how should I format this commit?"
- User mentions "commit message", "git conventions", "effort grouping"
## Core Patterns
### 1. Header Syntax
Two accepted patterns:
**Pattern A: Single effort grouping**
```
{action}({effort-grouping}): {narrative description}
```
**Pattern B: Multiple effort groupings or chained actions**
```
{action}({effort-1}, {effort-2}): {narrative description}
{action}({effort-1}), {action}({effort-2}): {narrative description}
```
**Examples:**
```
feat(theme-system): Add vibrant mode verification checklist
fix(mode-switcher, theme.css): Vibrant mode now dark-based with neon effects
doc(README), skill(astro-knots): Update vibrant mode guidance
```

How to install
mdr add lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills/git-conventions@sha256:27e1a6be1d7605beThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.f9fe757, 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.
