Do you let Claude write your commit messages?
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.
