Kody’s PR Summary feature allows you to automate the creation of concise, actionable pull request descriptions. This configuration guide explains how to tailor the feature to suit your team’s workflow and preferences.

​
Enabling Automatic Summaries

Enable or disable the automatic generation of pull request summaries: Toggle the Enable Automatic Summary Generation option. When enabled, Kody will generate summaries for every pull request, ensuring consistency and saving time.

​
Behavior for Existing Descriptions

Control how Kody interacts with existing pull request descriptions. You can choose from three modes:

​
Replace (Default):

Overwrites any existing description with a newly generated summary from scratch.

​
Concatenate:

Appends the generated summary to the end of the existing description.

​
Complement:

Combines Kody’s generated insights with the current description, highlighting only what’s new or relevant.

​
Custom Instructions

Fine-tune how Kody generates summaries by providing specific guidelines: Add instructions directly in the Custom Instructions text field. Examples:
  • “Focus on security changes and performance impacts.”
  • “Summarize concisely, highlighting modified public APIs.”
