+### Commit Guidelines
+
+All your commits must follow the [conventional commit message format](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary).
+
+Valid scopes for this project are:
+
+- `editor`: changes to the script editor GUI
+- `runner`: changes to the script execution logic
+- `meta`: changes to the build process, deployment, packaging or the project setup
+
+Commits that fall into none of these scopes or change aspects in more than one of them should not specify a scope.
+
+Ideally, each commit should should represent a working and buildable state but still only contain an atomic change compared to its parent. Please rewrite history accordingly before opening a PR.
