Research direction

Start with the raw conventional commit data and trace how normalized values feed the n-gram tables and neural model. Resolve the casing, whitespace, character, scope, proper-noun, and emoji questions, then document rules in a format that can be automated; done means every Success Criteria item is addressed.

Description

data

Summary

Define rules for normalizing raw conventional commit data into a consistent format.

Success Criteria

  • Casing rules defined (lowercase types, scopes, etc.)
  • Whitespace handling documented
  • Character normalization rules (unicode, special chars)
  • Scope canonicalization rules (e.g., aliasing)
  • Rules documented in a format that can be automated

Context

Raw commit messages vary wildly in formatting. Normalization ensures the n-gram tables and neural model see consistent patterns.

Open Questions

  • Should we preserve original casing for proper nouns in scope?
  • How to handle emoji in commit messages?
