I like these conventions. Another personal practice I us the body for is where I’ve relied on any webpages; blogs, issue reports, stack overlap pages etc to help the commit come together.

The example of using one library over another, especially if research has gone into which to choose, regularly involves say finding a good article that compares the alternatives.

I’ll say though that I usually include links to more notable references, I won’t usually commit refs to a libraries own docs and more obvious stuff; revealing and keeping references to resources found that went towards getting it done are what I keep and add to commit body.

Maybe there’s spaces for useful references to be added to the spec/conventions. Personally I usually show links like this after the body message.

Example of the commit body:

refs(oath-library):
