🔗 Why I think we should write our own PR descriptions

Writing pull request descriptions should be a responsibility of developers, even when agents handle most of the implementation. It encourages understanding of the changes being reviewed and provides necessary context for human reviewers. The article argues that while tools like Claude and Codex can generate comprehensive descriptions, they can lack the personal touch and insights that come from the developer directly involved with the code.

The author emphasizes that a PR description should clarify why a change exists and how it fits into the broader project, rather than just detailing what was changed. By taking ownership of the PR description, developers not only ensure clarity for reviewers but also maintain a connection to the code being produced. This approach fosters a better understanding of the work being done and reinforces individual accountability in the development process.
