+# Commit conventions

+Format: `[prefix] description` or `[prefix:scope] description`.
+Use the imperative mood. The scope is optional and names an instrument or
+section, e.g. `[mix:vox]`, `[track:gtr]`.
+
+## Prefixes
+
+| Prefix   | When to use                                                         | Example                                          |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `sketch` | Early phase: composition, arrangement and mix are still intertwined | `[sketch] Rough verse and chorus, draft balance` |
+| `comp`   | Material: melody, harmony, structure                                | `[comp] Rewrite the bridge, drop the pre-chorus` |
+| `arr`    | Arrangement, instrumentation                                        | `[arr] Add string pad to the chorus`             |
+| `track`  | Recording live audio                                                | `[track:gtr] Solo guitar (Artem), 3 takes`       |
+| `midi`   | MIDI and virtual instruments                                        | `[midi] Verse drums, fix the groove`             |
+| `edit`   | Processing recordings: comping, timing, tuning, cleanup             | `[edit:vox] Comp the lead, clean up breaths`     |
+| `mix`    | Mixing                                                              | `[mix:vox] De-esser on lead, +1.5 dB in chorus`  |
+| `master` | Mastering (the process)                                             | `[master] Limiter, target -9 LUFS`               |
+| `export` | Emitting files into Out/ (audio, PDF)                               | `[export] Master v1, instrumental, stems`        |
+| `score`  | Notation source (.mscz)                                             | `[score] Solo guitar part, clean copy`           |
+| `asset`  | Non-audio resources: presets, FX chains, cover art                  | `[asset] Cover v2, master-bus preset`            |
+| `docs`   | Documentation, README                                               | `[docs] Update the description`                  |
+| `chore`  | Repo plumbing: structure, gitignore/gitattributes, LFS              | `[chore] Track .mscz with LFS`                   |
+| `fix`    | Fixes: bad take, clipping, wrong file, revert                       | `[fix] Remove clipping at 2:13, re-export stem`  |
+
+Core day-to-day flow: `sketch -> comp/arr -> track/midi/edit -> mix -> master -> export`.
+Rarely used: `fix`, `chore`, `asset`.
