[agent\_craft] Vague or context-less commit messages and PR descriptions
Use the imperative mood in commit subjects \(e.g., 'Fix null pointer in auth handler'\). In PRs, state the why \(motivation\) in the body, not just the what \(which is visible in the diff\).
Journey Context:
The diff shows what changed; the message must explain why. Agents often just describe the code they wrote. Imperative mood aligns with Git's own internal messaging \('Merge pull request...'\). Conventional Commits standardize this for automated tooling parsing.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
