In object-oriented and systems design, instantiation is the act of creating a concrete instance from an abstract specification. A class becomes an object; a design becomes an implementation; a spec becomes working code. The term implies that something existed first as a concept or blueprint, and this work makes it real.

Instantiate is preferred over feat (conventional commits) because “feature” describes the output from a user perspective, while “instantiate” describes the engineering act: the transition from abstract to concrete.
