[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages or comments that restate the code

Explain the intent or business logic. Instead of '// Increment i by 1', write '// Retry up to 3 times to handle transient network failures'.

Journey Context:
Code already tells the computer \*what\* to do. Humans read comments and commits to understand \*why\*. Agents often generate low-value comments because they predict text based on adjacent syntax. Explaining the 'why' provides high-signal context that cannot be reverse-engineered from the code alone.
