If code is cheap, intent is the currency

I don't know, I think intent has also become cheaper. Agents have intent, and can summarize intent from the changes pretty easily (as demonstrated by this skill).

In my experience Claude Code already does a pretty good job of including relevant context in the PR, although it's true that for commits it usually defaults to "this and this changed".

    Yeah for sure, the skill leans on the agent being able to identify the intent. I'd say roughly 30% of the time I have to either prompt it to fix the intent, or it will ask me explicitly what the intent is.

    Without the skill, the commit messages are often a list of files changed with a list of bullet points at the end saying:

    - Added 8 tests to file.xyz

    Pretty useless for a reviewer, they can see that from the diff.
