How to Write a Pull Request Description with AI

Short summary

Use AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to automatically generate pull request descriptions from your git diff, then spend 2–3 minutes refining for missing context and trimming redundancy. This reduces friction from 15+ minutes of writing to 2–3 minutes of editing. Standardize with a .github/pull_request_template.md file to ensure consistent PR structures and raise code review quality across your entire engineering team.

• •Paste git diff into ChatGPT/Claude with a structured prompt to auto-generate PR description sections
• •Edit the AI output (2–3 min) instead of writing from scratch (15 min) — fix context gaps and trim redundancy
• •Codify the format in a PR template to standardize descriptions and raise quality floor across your team
