## Why
`core/AGENTS.md` referenced a non-existent path (`~/.claude/core/commits.md`)
instead of the correct `~/.claude/core/instructions/commits.md`, and contained a
typo ("commiting" → "committing"). `core/instructions/commits.md` was wrapped in
an erroneous markdown code fence that caused agents reading the file to see it as
a raw text block rather than a live template with usable HTML comment sections.
## Impact
Agents following the content index in AGENTS.md will now resolve the correct path
for commit conventions. The commits template is now properly structured so its
comment-gated sections render as intended.

## Why
The existing git.md was thin — missing atomicity, working-state, and
trailer guidance that belong in any professional git workflow. No commit
message template existed, making the expected format implicit and
inconsistent across sessions.
## Impact
- git.md is now the canonical reference for commit hygiene rules
- commits.md provides a structured template (Why / Implementation Notes /
Impact / Git Trailers) that agents and humans can follow
- AGENTS.md cross-references commits.md so it is discoverable at session
start
