[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages or PR descriptions that jump straight into implementation details without stating the intent

Start with the 'why' \(the problem, bug, or goal\), then follow with the 'how' \(the implementation approach\). Use the imperative mood for the subject line \(e.g., 'Fix memory leak in worker pool'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often summarize the diff \(the 'how'\), but future readers need to understand the motivation \(the 'why'\) to know if the code is still necessary or how to approach future changes. The 'how' is visible in the code; the 'why' is lost without documentation.
