# Development Communication Standards

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 commit 의 message + 매 PR 의 review + 매 doc 의 standard"**. 매 Conventional Commits + Conventional Comments + ADR + RFC. 매 modern: 매 LLM-aided + 매 semantic versioning automation.

## 매 핵심

### 매 Conventional Commits
- 매 `<type>(<scope>): <description>`.
- 매 type: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore, build, ci.
- 매 BREAKING CHANGE: 매 footer 의 declare.

```
feat(auth): add OAuth2 PKCE flow
fix(api): handle null user in /me endpoint
docs(readme): update install steps
BREAKING CHANGE: drop Node 14 support
```

### 매 Conventional Comments (PR review)
- 매 `<label> [decoration]: <subject>`.
- 매 label: praise, nitpick, suggestion, issue, todo, question, thought, chore, note.
- 매 decoration: (non-blocking), (blocking), (if-minor).

```
suggestion: rename `data` to `userProfile` for clarity.
issue (blocking): this leaks the auth token in URL.
nitpick (non-blocking): trailing whitespace.
question: did you intend to swallow this exception?
```

### 매 PR title / description
- 매 short, imperative.
- 매 link issue.
- 매 motivation > diff.
- 매 testing 의 explain.

### 매 doc artifact
- **ADR** (Architecture Decision Record): 매 why (not what).
- **RFC** (Request For Comments): 매 design proposal.
- **Runbook**: 매 incident response.
- **Postmortem**: 매 blameless.

### 매 modern AI 의 영향
- **LLM commit message**: 매 git diff → 매 message.
- **PR summarizer**: 매 Anthropic Claude PR review.
- **Auto-changelog**: 매 release-please.
- **Semantic version**: 매 commit-based bump.

## 💻 패턴

### Commit linter (commitlint)
```javascript
// commitlint.config.js
module.exports = {
  extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional'],
  rules: {
    'type-enum': [2, 'always', [
      'feat', 'fix', 'docs', 'style', 'refactor', 'perf',
      'test', 'chore', 'build', 'ci', 'revert',
    ]],
    'subject-max-length': [2, 'always', 72],
  },
};
```

### Husky hook
```json
{
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "commit-msg": "commitlint -E HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS"
    }
  }
}
```

### Auto-changelog (release-please)
```yaml
# .github/workflows/release.yml
on: { push: { branches: [main] } }
jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: googleapis/release-please-action@v4
        with:
          release-type: node
```

### LLM-generated commit
```bash
# 매 staged diff → 매 message
function llm_commit() {
  diff=$(git diff --cached)
  msg=$(echo "$diff" | llm "Write a Conventional Commit message for this diff. Output just the message.")
  git commit -m "$msg"
}
```

### ADR template
```markdown
# ADR-001: Use PostgreSQL over MongoDB

## Status
Accepted (2026-05-01)

## Context
We need a primary datastore for user profiles + transactions.

## Decision
PostgreSQL 16 with read replicas.

## Consequences
+ ACID transactions
+ Mature tooling
- Less flexibility for unstructured data
- Schema migration friction
```

### RFC template
```markdown
# RFC: Real-time notification system

## Summary
Replace polling with WebSocket-based push.

## Motivation
Current polling = 1M req/min, 80% wasted.

## Detailed Design
- Service: NestJS Gateway + Redis pub/sub
- Auth: JWT in handshake
- Fallback: SSE for legacy

## Alternatives
- SSE-only (rejected: bidirectional needed)
- Long polling (rejected: doesn't scale)

## Drawbacks
- Sticky session complexity
- Connection state

## Open Questions
- Multi-region routing?
```

### Postmortem template (blameless)
```markdown
# Incident: Auth outage 2026-05-08

## Summary
30-minute outage of /login endpoint.

## Timeline (UTC)
- 14:02 — Deploy of v2.3.1
- 14:05 — PagerDuty alert (HTTP 500 spike)
- 14:18 — Root cause identified (env var missing)
- 14:32 — Rolled back, traffic restored

## Root Cause
SECRET_KEY env var renamed in v2.3.1 but deploy config not updated.

## Action Items
- [ ] Add config validation pre-deploy (#1234)
- [ ] CI check for env var presence (#1235)
- [ ] Improve runbook for rollback (#1236)

## What Went Well
- Rollback under 30 minutes
- Clear ownership

## What Went Poorly
- No env var validation
```

### PR description template
```markdown
## What
<short summary>

## Why
<problem / motivation>

## How
<key implementation choice>

## Test plan
- [ ] Unit
- [ ] Integration
- [ ] Manual: ...

## Screenshots / Recordings (if UI)

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Standard |
|---|---|
| Commit | Conventional Commits |
| Code review | Conventional Comments |
| Architecture | ADR |
| New feature design | RFC |
| Incident | Postmortem (blameless) |
| Release | Semantic versioning + auto-changelog |

**기본값**: 매 Conventional Commits + 매 commitlint + 매 release-please + 매 ADR / RFC for big decisions + 매 blameless postmortem.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: 매 team standardization. 매 LLM-aided commit / PR / doc.
**언제 X**: 매 solo throwaway script.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Free-form commit**: 매 changelog 의 generate X.
- **Blame postmortem**: 매 incident learning 의 kill.
- **No ADR**: 매 future why 의 lose.
- **Wall-of-text PR**: 매 review fatigue.
- **No comment label**: 매 reviewer 의 intent 의 ambiguous.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (conventionalcommits.org, conventionalcomments.org, Google SRE).
- 신뢰도 A.
