Give the description a fixed order (problem, approach, what the reviewer must do), a length cap, and a scope rule so agents stop writing roadmap context and open questions into PR bodies.

…tails The human's one or two sentences lead; the agent's write-up follows inside a <details> block whose <summary> is the model name, which is also the note that the rest is agent-written. The ordering, length and scope rules now describe that write-up.

Agent-written PR descriptions were accurate and too long to read: 150–200 words, roadmap, open questions. The rules said what to cover but not how long or where to stop.
Descriptions now open with one or two sentences a human wrote or chose, and the agent's write-up follows inside a
<details>block whose<summary>is the model name — that line replaces a separate AI-generated note. Inside: problem, approach, what the reviewer must do; decisions stated, not asked; links and context welcome. No word cap — the fold is what keeps the opener short.After merge, run
