SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns completed feature work into a clean, reviewable commit message and pull request description, so you do not have to reconstruct intent from a diff by hand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PR narrative from artifacts: Builds a structured pull request description from planning notes, task files, acceptance criteria, and optional harvest summaries.
