The reason I do is because it makes the agents more capable of working with the code in the future, they put more info into the commit messages than I do and when they look back the commit messages help them navigate the change history better.
Also, if you see a commit message that just looks whacked, completely missing the actual objective - that might be a Claude hallucination.
If I ask an LLM to do something, the commit message is usually just the prompt. If it’s for code I wrote myself, my process is to take the message, read it over, then edit appropriately before running git commit myself. It seems that this last step is what does it.

Which highlights another situation of people telling it to let them handle the committing
Do you let Claude write your commit messages?

maybe it needs that data about you too to understand you better
You must not be working professionally.
