[agent\_craft] How to write PR descriptions that don't just repeat the git diff

Write PR descriptions starting with an imperative verb stating the 'why' \(user impact or business logic\) in the first line, followed by the 'what' \(technical approach\). Do not just list files changed or function names modified.

Journey Context:
Agents often summarize commits by extracting modified filenames or function signatures from the diff. This is low-signal because reviewers can already see the diff. The value of a PR description is the intent and impact. The conventional commits spec and Google's dev-doc style guide emphasize starting with the developer impact. Using imperative mood \('Fix' not 'Fixed' or 'Fixes'\) keeps it concise and aligned with git merge conventions.
