- Show evidence of successful tests
- Include validation results
- Add screenshots when helpful
### Future Work Section
- List intentionally deferred items
- Suggest optimisations or enhancements
- Note any technical debt created
## Key Principles
1. **Be specific**: Include exact commands, concrete examples
2. **Show evidence**: Screenshots, command outputs, test results
3. **Think reviewer-first**: What would a reviewer need to understand the changes?
4. **Business context**: Explain the "why" not just the "what"
5. **Keep it scannable**: Use headers, bullet points, and formatting
## Good Examples
### Good Summary
"This PR refactors the user authentication flow to use JWT tokens instead of session cookies. The change improves scalability for our microservices architecture and reduces server-side session storage requirements."
### Good Testing Description
```bash
# Commands run

npm run test:integration
npm run lint
Results:
- โ 47 unit tests passed
- โ 12 integration tests passed
- โ No linting errors
- โ Manual testing completed on staging environment
Error Handling
- If unable to determine scope of changes, ask user for clarification
- If testing hasn't been completed, remind user to run tests first
- If no diagrams provided, create placeholder diagrams and ask user to review
