Maybe on your team, but I don't think AI PRs are universally disliked. The people that submit PRs without understanding them are universally disliked.

Have you tried writing in AGENTS.md or whatever to exactly explain what you like/dislike about the PR descriptions?

The PR descriptions are pretty universally disliked. We have centralized tooling that manages the prompts for that, I’m sure they’ve tried tuning it but maybe there’s more they could do.

Though I have some local workflows where I try to teach Claude about my writing style preferences via skills and examples, and it’s still not great.

		It’s definitely possible to get much better output with prompting. I know, because when I’m faced with a “standard” PR description full of technical clutter, I can paste the link to Claude and ask “ELI5 what the problem actually is, any important context, what changed, and why that solves the problem.” And most of the time it converts it into something pretty good and readable.

The basics are always so basic yet so necessary. Thanks for the recommendation.
