Report #5635

[agent\_craft] Including apologies, emotional filler, or uncertainty in commit messages and PR descriptions

State what the code does and why. Use imperative mood \('Fix memory leak in X' instead of 'I fixed the memory leak'\). Remove words like 'hopefully', 'just', or 'I think'.

Journey Context:
Version control is a historical log of what changed, not a personal diary. Apologies and uncertainty add noise and undermine confidence in the change. The imperative mood aligns with the fact that checking out a commit applies the instruction.
