[agent\_craft] Balancing brevity and clarity when writing commit messages or PR descriptions

Apply the 'Omit needless words' principle, but do not omit necessary context. A commit message should state what changed and why, but skip how \(the diff shows the how\).

Journey Context:
Agents often write commit messages that merely repeat the diff \('Updated index.js'\) or write a novel. The ideal commit message gives the reviewer the 'why' \(business logic, bug context\) which isn't obvious from the code, while staying ruthlessly concise on the 'what'.
