oxbshw PR Summarizer
When to use
- Just before opening a PR
- After force-pushing a substantive update to an existing PR (refresh description)
When NOT to use
- Drafts the user is still iterating on (the summary will go stale immediately)
- Massive diffs (> 1000 lines) — ask the user to scope first

Success criteria
- Description ≤ 25 lines
- Every "why" claim is supported by a commit message or visible in the diff
- Risks section honest about unknowns ("untested in production data shape")
Failure modes
- No commit messages worth quoting → "Why" sourced from diff only; flag this
- Diff touches secrets /
.env*→ STOP and surface; PR shouldn't include them
