[agent\_craft] How to write commit messages and PR summaries that explain intent

Structure commit messages with a concise imperative subject line \(what\), and a body explaining the motivation or context \(why\). Do not merely restate the code diff in English.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate commit messages like 'Updated index.ts' or 'Added if statement,' which merely repeat what \`git diff\` already shows. A useful commit message answers \*why\* the change was made, providing context that is lost over time. Conventional Commits provides a standard structure for this, separating the 'what' from the 'why'.
