How it works

1

Describe the change

Explain the purpose, list the files or areas changed, note how it was tested, pick a risk level, and flag anything reviewers should focus on.

2

Get a structured PR description

The tool assembles a markdown draft with Purpose, Approach, Testing, a risk-specific reviewer checklist, and Reviewer notes sections.

3

Paste it into your PR and adjust

Copy the markdown into GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, fill any remaining placeholders, and tag reviewers based on the risk level shown.

Frequently asked questions

Does it read my actual git diff?

No. It uses the summary you type — a list of changed files or a description of the diff — rather than parsing a real diff file. This keeps it fast and avoids handling large or sensitive diffs.

Why does risk level change the output?

Higher-risk changes (data migrations, auth, payments) get an expanded reviewer checklist automatically, so the description prompts reviewers to check the things that matter most for that kind of change.

Can I use this for small, low-risk PRs too?

Yes. Pick "Low" risk and the checklist stays short — the tool scales the reviewer checklist to the risk you select rather than always producing a long template.

Is the generated description a substitute for good commit messages?

No. This describes the pull request as a whole for reviewers; individual commits should still have their own clear messages.

Does it store or send my diff summary anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser and is only kept in session storage locally so a refresh does not lose your draft.

Should I paste real credentials or customer data into the diff summary?

No. Describe changes in general terms and avoid pasting secrets, tokens, or real customer data into any field.
