   - Include context in the summary: what changed, why, and any issue references.
   - Use `[WIP]` for in-progress PRs to avoid premature merging or choose GitHub draft PRs.

2. **Commits**:
   - Write clear messages: what changed and why (e.g., “Refactor S3 API handler to reduce latency so that requests process 20% faster”).
