Executive PR Summaries (AI-Powered)

Pull requests are often under-documented and under-described. This causes several issues -

  • Pull requests are harder to review, which affects review time and quality

  • It is harder for managers to stay on top of their team's changes

  • It is harder for developers not accustomed to the codebase to understand changes

  • If the pull request is inspected in the future, it will be hard to understand the exact scope of the changes—degrading the codebase's documentation quality

  • Developers frequently have to "reverse-engineer" the pull request to understand it

devoro counters this issue by creating and adding an executive summary of the pull request as its description. It adds all the context needed to understand the changes and their effects—helping developers review the pull requests and managers stay on top of recent changes

How it works

devoro's AI agent inspects the diff between the new pull request, generates a summary report, and adds it to the pull request's description.

đź’ˇ devoro is not saving your diff anywhere to generate the executive summaries.

The summary includes the following sections:

  • Review effort (estimated effort to review the pull request, by an experienced developer)

  • Overview (a general description of changes introduced in the pull request)

  • File Changes (file-by-file technical walkthrough of all changes in the pull request)

Pull request labels

devoro's AI agent is also capable of categorizing the pull request into a specific type (e.g., "Enhancement" or "Bug-fix") and applying a label to the pull request to identify it better.

Pull request Titles

devoro's AI agent is capable of creating a descriptive title for every pull request—increasing the visibility and clarity of the changes it contains.

đź’ˇ All AI agent's capabilities can always be turned off via the "Home" tab settings. In that case, devoro will not pass on the pull request's diff to the agent.
