What it does

Use when writing a PR body.

Use this template for writing the PR body:

## Summary

<diagram, diff-sketch, or tree>

## Evidence

- **Before:** <screenshot/output/failing test run>
  **After:** <screenshot/output/passing test run>

## Merge Danger

**Door:** <one-way or two-way>

<optional: description>

**Blast Radius:** <one-word description>

<optional: potential ramifications of merge>

Sections

Skip all preambles and keep prose brief. Use the user's domain language from GLOSSARY.md.

Summary

Pick the smallest view that makes the key point clear.

  • Show logic or an algorithm as pseudocode:
on(save)
  if content is unchanged
    return cached result
  write new content
  return fresh result
  • Show runtime control flow as a call tree:
submitForm
  createSession
    persistPrompt
    launchAgent
  navigateToSession
  • Show UI structure as a component tree, including state and module boundaries that matter:
<SessionPage> (apps/example/src/routes/session.tsx)
  useSessionEvents()
  <SessionToolbar>
    <RunSkillButton> (packages/ui)
  • Show file responsibility or a broad refactor as a shallow file tree:
src/
├── commands/       # parses user actions
├── sessions/       # owns session state
└── transport/      # sends API requests
  • Show component interaction, control flow, or data flow with Mermaid:
sequenceDiagram
    participant User
    participant UI
    participant Daemon
    User->>UI: choose command
    UI->>Daemon: send expanded prompt
    Daemon-->>UI: stream result
  • Use diff when the point is what changes and the surrounding shape already exists. Match the diff shape to the topic.

For a component change:

 <SessionPage>
   useSessionEvents()
   <SessionToolbar>
+    <RunSkillButton />
   <SessionTimeline>
+    <SkillResultCard />

For a file-layout change:
