# Buf

> CodeRabbit's guide to Buf.

[Buf](https://buf.build/) offers linting for Protobuf files.

## Files

Buf will run on files with the following extensions:

* `.proto`

## Configuration

Buf uses a YAML style configuration file. We look for the following file anywhere in the repository:

* `buf.yaml`

If no config file is found, CodeRabbit will consider the following categories of strictness based on the profile selected:

### Chill

* `MINIMAL`

### Assertive

* `BASIC`

## When we skip Buf

CodeRabbit will skip running Buf when:

* Buf is already running in GitHub workflows.
