[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past tense or descriptive mood

Use imperative mood in the commit subject line \(e.g., 'Add feature' instead of 'Added feature' or 'Adds feature'\).

Journey Context:
The imperative mood matches the mental model of Git: if applied, this commit will 'Add feature'. Past tense describes what happened, but imperative describes what the commit does. This convention creates a consistent, scannable Git log when combined with tools like git rebase or git cherry-pick, and is the universally accepted standard for open source.
