Total Effort: 7-10 hours


Overview

Make PRs more understandable and documented for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Goals

  • Non-technical stakeholders can understand PRs
  • Automated changelog generation
  • Better PR documentation quality
  • Reduced time spent on manual documentation

Features

1. Code Diff Explainer

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 2-3 hours
Value: MEDIUM-HIGH

Description:
@codebot explain-diff breaks down complex changes in plain language.

Use Cases:

  • New team members understanding large PRs
  • Non-technical reviewers (PMs, designers)
  • Documentation for architectural changes
  • Learning from other developers' code

Files to Modify:

  • tools/ai-review/config.yml
  • tools/ai-review/agents/pr_agent.py
  • tools/ai-review/prompts/explain_diff.md

Output Example:

**PR Explanation:**

**Overview:**
This PR adds user authentication using JWT tokens.

**Key Changes:**

1. **auth/jwt.py** (new file)
   - Creates JSON Web Tokens for authenticated users
   - Validates tokens on protected endpoints
   - 24 hour token lifetime

2. **api/users.py** (modified)
   - Added `/login` endpoint
   - Returns JWT token on successful auth
   - Passwords hashed using bcrypt

**Architecture Impact:**
- Introduces authentication layer across all API endpoints
- Adds dependency on PyJWT library

2. PR Changelog Generator

Priority: MEDIUM
Effort: 3-4 hours
Value: MEDIUM

Description:
@codebot changelog generates human-readable changelog from PR for release notes.

Use Cases:

  • Release note generation
  • CHANGELOG.md maintenance
  • Version documentation
  • Customer-facing release announcements

Files to Modify:

  • tools/ai-review/config.yml
  • tools/ai-review/agents/pr_agent.py

Output Example:

**Changelog for PR #123:**

### Added
- User authentication system with JWT tokens
- Password reset functionality via email

### Changed
- Updated database schema for user table
- Refactored login endpoint for better error handling

### Fixed

3. PR Summary Generator

Priority: MEDIUM
Effort: 2-3 hours
Value: MEDIUM

Description:
Auto-generate PR description from diff when PR is created without description.

Use Cases:

  • Developers who forget to write descriptions
  • Quick PR creation workflow
  • Standardized PR format
  • Consistency across team

Files to Modify:

  • tools/ai-review/agents/pr_agent.py

Implementation:

  • Trigger on pull_request.opened if description is empty
  • Analyze diff and generate summary
  • Post as PR description or first comment
  • Include: what changed, why, files affected
