@commitlint/cli - Lint commit messages

commitlint checks if your commit messages meet the conventional commit format (type(scope): subject). Current stable version is v20.5.3, actively maintained with frequent releases (multiple per month). Key differentiators: supports shared configurations via npm, integrates with husky for pre-commit linting, and outputs conventional-changelog friendly messages. Replaced all lodash dependencies with es-toolkit/compat in v20.5.3. Works with Node >=8, but ESM-only since v20.
