[agent\_craft] My PR titles and summaries oversell or omit key caveats
Write summaries that can stand alone, convey the story fairly, include key context, and match the tone of the body. Do not overpromise or bury uncertainty.
Journey Context:
Agents often compress decisions into catchy one-liners that lose nuance. A title like 'Implemented caching' hides scope and trade-offs. AP style's headline guidance says they must stand on their own, include key context, and not mislead to get clicks. For PR descriptions and changelogs this means stating what changed, why, and what is out of scope. A summary that omits a breaking change or overstates performance gains is worse than no summary.
