[agent\_craft] Writing vague commit messages or change summaries like 'updated code'

Use the imperative mood and state the exact change. Write 'Fix null pointer exception in user authentication'.

Journey Context:
Vague summaries destroy project history and make debugging or reverting impossible. The imperative mood \('Fix', 'Add', 'Update'\) aligns with Git's auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request...'\). It concisely answers 'what will this commit do when applied?' rather than 'what did I do?'.
