Use `Refs` in the footer. `Fixes` is the form that closes an issue after the commit is merged.

This skill formats commit messages using Sentry conventions, including issue references. Use it when you want a consistent Git history for a Sentry project.

What commit does

The skill guides Claude Code in writing conventional commit messages with a change type and an optional scope. Each message needs a header. Its subject must start with a capital letter, use imperative wording, omit the final period, and stay within 70 characters; each line has a 100-character limit.

The body should explain the change and its motivation. Add an issue reference in the footer: Fixes SENTRY-1234 closes the issue after merging, while Refs LINEAR-ABC-123 links it without closing it. Those reference patterns are Sentry-specific, so check another project’s conventions before applying them there. The skill also covers revert messages and breaking changes.

What it helps with

format a commit header with a type and scope
explain the change and its motivation in the body
attach an issue reference in the footer
write a revert or breaking-change message

Example prompts for the agent

Write a commit message for an API bug fix using Sentry conventions.
Format a commit for a new feature in the alerts scope and add Refs GH-1234.
Draft a revert message and explain why the commit is being undone.
