Commit and pull request hygiene

Rules on the change itself rather than the code: commit message format, PR description, size limits, required labels or linked tickets.

V1004 technique

not detectable from CI configuration

Sub-techniques

ID	Name	Description
`V1004.001`	Commit message lint	Enforce a message convention so changelogs and release tooling can parse history.
`V1004.002`	Pull request rules	Fail or warn when a PR is too large, lacks a description, or touches files without matching tests or docs.

Write the rules you already enforce by hand in review as a Dangerfile or commitlint config.
Start as warnings, then turn the rules people respect into failures.
Keep size thresholds per directory, not global.

Signs that a codebase already runs this technique, and where to read how it is configured.

commitlint.config.js, a Dangerfile, or a PR title check in CI.
Release tooling that parses conventional commits (release-please, semantic-release).
