Can it use a git diff?

Yes. When a git diff is provided, it summarizes only what is actually visible in the diff rather than assuming additional changes.

Does it work for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket?

Yes. The generated descriptions are written in a plain format that pastes cleanly into GitHub pull requests, GitLab merge requests, or Bitbucket pull requests.

Can it create testing and risk sections?

Yes. It includes testing and risk sections in every description, marking them as "Not provided" or "Testing needed" when no information is given rather than leaving them out.

Will it invent test results or issue numbers?

No. It never invents test results, issue numbers, screenshots, reviewer approvals, or deployment status. It only includes what has actually been provided.

Can it help with AI-generated code changes?

Yes. It's especially useful for changes made with AI coding tools, where commit messages can be vague and a clear, honest PR description helps reviewers trust and evaluate the change.

TL;DR

PR Description Writer Skill is a free, reviewed AI skill for docs & knowledge bases. Turn code changes, commits, diffs, issues, and feature notes into clear pull request descriptions with summaries, testing notes, risks, checklists, and reviewer guidance. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and is ready to use out of the box.

Not ideal for

• The skill cannot accurately summarize code changes without a diff, commit list, issue notes, or user-provided context.
• It should not invent tests, screenshots, issue numbers, reviewers, approvals, or deployment results.
• It cannot verify that the code works unless test results or build output are provided.

About this skill

PR Description Writer helps developers write clear, professional pull request descriptions for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and everyday coding workflows. It turns messy commit history, git diffs, issue notes, feature summaries, bug fixes, screenshots, migration notes, and testing results into a structured PR description that reviewers can understand quickly. It explains what changed, why it changed, how it was tested, what risks exist, what reviewers should focus on, and what follow-up work remains, while never inventing tests, issue numbers, screenshots, reviewers, or deployment results that weren't actually provided. This makes it especially useful for developers working with AI coding tools, where changes can accumulate quickly and vague commit messages make it hard to write a description reviewers can trust. The result is a PR description that is honest about unknowns, easy for reviewers to skim, and ready to paste directly into a pull request.

What it does

This skill takes commit messages, git diffs, issue notes, feature summaries, bug fix descriptions, screenshots, migration notes, and testing results, and produces a structured pull request description with a clear title, concise summary, grouped list of changes, testing notes, risk notes, reviewer focus areas, and follow-up work, using only the information actually provided and clearly marking any assumptions.

Examples

Example input

Commits:
fix stuff
update admin page
add JSON import
cleanup

Context:
This PR adds a PiSkill admin JSON import file for skill pages and updates the admin workflow so I do not need to copy every field manually.

Testing:
Manually checked the JSON import with one skill draft.

Example output

Title: Add JSON import support for PiSkill skill pages

Summary:
This PR adds a JSON-based import workflow for PiSkill skill pages so admin content can be generated once and uploaded instead of copied field by field. It also updates the skill creation workflow to keep public page content inside the JSON import file.

Changes:
Created a structured admin import format for skill metadata, page content, related resources, SEO fields, and FAQ entries.
Updated the skill packaging workflow so the downloadable ZIP contains only user-facing skill files.
Removed the need for a separate piskill-page-content.md file.

Testing:
Manually checked one skill draft with the new JSON import structure.

Risk:
The main risk is invalid JSON formatting or missing required admin fields. Review the import file structure carefully before publishing.

Known limitations

- The skill cannot accurately summarize code changes without a diff, commit list, issue notes, or user-provided context.
