What it does
Open a PR, write or rewrite a PR description, "the PR body is too long", or check whether a PR description is readable. Use whenever a PR is created or its body is edited.
Skill: Open a PR
A PR body is read in thirty seconds, before the diff. It answers a few questions and stops. Everything else lives in the commit messages, the spec, and the report CI posts.
The shape
.github/pull_request_template.md. Fill every heading; add none. Under ~250
words total.
## What is this about?
One or two sentences, plain words: the surface and the change.
## What problem does it solve?
The pain a person felt or the risk we carried. Not the mechanism.
## What was the situation before?
What the person saw or could not do. Concrete enough to recognise in the
"before" screenshot.
## How is this implemented?
Two to five bullets for the reviewer: the main pieces that changed and how
they connect, so the diff reads in order. File paths, tool names, routes and
flags go here, not in the sections above.
## What else changed?
Anything in the diff that is not part of the main task: drive-by fixes,
refactors, renames, dependency bumps, test or tooling tweaks. One bullet
each, so the reviewer is not surprised by them. `none` if nothing.
## Release note
One sentence for people who use OpenWork, or `none`.
## Evidence
The spec that proves it, and in one line what its before → after shows.
The release note feeds the changelog agent directly
(scripts/release/collect-release-prs.mjs). Write what a user can now do or
no longer hits, in words they see in the product: "Connecting an account in
chat no longer gets stuck on 'Checking connection request…'." Write none
for CI, tests, review tooling, or refactors nobody will notice; the PR is
then left out of the changelog. A change that removes or alters something
users rely on always needs a note.
Title: conventional commit, imperative, under 70 characters.
