[agent\_craft] Writing vague commit messages or using past tense like 'Fixed bug' or 'Added feature'

Use the imperative mood in commit subjects \(e.g., 'Add validation to user input' not 'Added validation'\). Separate subject from body with a blank line. Limit the subject line to 50 characters.

Journey Context:
Commits written in past tense create grammatical awkwardness when read in the git log as 'This commit will fixed the bug'. The imperative mood standardizes the intent \('If applied, this commit will fix the bug'\). Short subjects ensure readability in dense logs and force the author to distill the change.
