I don’t know. From my experience I get pretty good descriptions of PRs if I ask the right questions and provide some context.

> provide some context

That's pretty much what a PR description is.

Work doesn't start with a PR description though. I'm assuming most people that are using LLMs start with some sort of document (plan, spec, intent, etc) which captures intent.

I guess you could also use all the session rollouts saved to disk that were related to that task, and distill them somehow.

The difference is an LLM can convert a stream of consciousness into well-formed prose for approximately free; I assume ‘provide some context’ means ‘brain dump’ in the OP

		This has unfortunately not been my experience at all. Often LLMs miss or get wrong subtle details when I don't do the pre-work to organize my thoughts well ahead of time (at which point it's unclear how much value they're providing).
