PR titled fix stuff again?
Developers open PRs titled fix stuff. Reviewers guess blindly for hours.
1. The problem
Engineers push code with empty PR bodies reading fix stuff. Reviewers reverse-engineer intent for hours. Risks hide unflagged. Merge queues stall days. The hardest part is context fast per diff. A title might say everything nothingly. That uncertainty makes it hard to ship reviewed code quickly.
“PRs titled fix stuff waste reviewer hours. I need diff summaries with risks flagged.”
2. What exists
Copilot summaries, templates and discipline document PRs, while most stay empty. Templates get skipped reliably. A bot might summarize thinly. There is little help with risk-flagging summaries plus reviewer routing for small teams.
3. The solution
The solution could be a merge-speed engine for PRs. It could narrate diffs with intent inferred. It could flag risky files prominently. Reviewers could be routed by ownership. The goal would be reviewed code shipped daily.
