* `feat`: describe the feature (not the action of creating the commit or PR, for example, avoid words like "added" or "changed")
* `fix`: describe the bug (not the solution)
* Title should be lowercase.
* No period at the end of the title.

* For features, describe use case, most salient design aspects (especially if new), potential alternatives.

* Pull request message should indicate which issues are fixed: `fixes #<issue>` or `closes #<issue>`.
