What changed

• AGENTS.md: replaced the "Proof in Pull Requests" section from docs(agents): require a Proof section in pull requests #2940 with Pull Request Descriptions. Every agent-opened PR must have five sections in order: What changed, Why, How, Before and after, and Verification. It must end with a model line naming the model, reasoning effort and harness that did the work.
• AGENTS.md: added a PR title rule. Titles use a conventional commit prefix and say, in plain language, what is different now, e.g. fix(web): model pages no longer time out on cold starts.
• .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: the five headings now open the template, replacing ## Summary and ## Proof. Before and after has an empty Metric / Before / After / Change table. A comment at the top gives the title rule, and a closing comment gives the model-line format. The checkbox sections and Notes are unchanged.

Why

• After docs(agents): require a Proof section in pull requests #2940 merged, the user said that what matters most is that agent PRs always prove why a change was made. They also want PRs to be clear on what changed, why and how, and to prove the actual benefit. Their example was startup time: the old number and the new one, side by side and easy to read. docs(agents): require a Proof section in pull requests #2940 only asked for proof that a change works. It covered "why" only for bug fixes, didn't single out agent PRs, and never asked for a measured benefit.
• The user then asked to compare this with T3 Code's AGENTS.md, which says "End with the model and harness that did the work."
  • Phaseo had no such rule. None of the last 40 Phaseo PRs names the model that wrote it. 20 end with "🤖 Generated with Claude Code", which names the tool but not the model or effort; the rest have no attribution.
  • T3 Code's own PRs use free text, so the lines vary: "Done by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code." (fix(shared): PRs built on the same PR stay in one stack under their parent pingdotgg/t3code#20160) and "Model: GPT-6.1 Sol. Harness: Codex through T3 Code." (fix(mobile): make test builds optional and preserve APK releases pingdotgg/t3code#20092).
• The user also asked to copy T3 Code's title rule ("Conventional commit titles, plain language: fix(web): new threads no longer spike CPU"). Phaseo's titles describe the edit rather than the result, e.g. fix(web): replace model ID datalist with searchable combobox. This PR's own first title was a list of requirements.

How

• Kept docs(agents): require a Proof section in pull requests #2940's verification guidance (commands with results, evidence by area, what wasn't verified, CI isn't proof, redaction) under Verification.
• Added a Why section listing the evidence to give for each change type: bugs, data/catalogue, performance/cost, and features/refactors/docs. It also says to flag reasons that were inferred from reading code rather than observed.
• Added a Before and after section with an example table. It requires measuring both sides the same way and saying how, putting UI screenshots in two columns, and saying so explicitly when there is no measurable benefit.
• Added a Model line with one fixed format instead of T3 Code's free text, so lines can be scanned and searched: Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (medium effort) · Harness: Claude Code in T3 Code.
  • It includes reasoning effort, because work here is assigned by model and effort.
  • It says to write (effort unknown) rather than guess.
  • There is one line per model when several did substantial work.
  • It goes before any automatic harness footer.
• Put the title rule in Commit & Pull Request Guidelines, next to the existing commit-subject line. It notes that squash merges turn the title into the commit subject on main.
• The structure is mandatory for agent PRs and recommended for human PRs.

Before and after

	Before (#2940)	After
Sections a PR must have	Proof	What changed, Why, How, Before and after, Verification
Evidence for why the change was made	Only implied for bug fixes	Required for every PR, by change type
Measured benefit	Not asked for	Side-by-side table, measured the same way both times
Which model did the work	Not recorded (0 of the last 40 PRs)	Required model line: model, effort, harness
PR title	"Short, descriptive, and scoped" (commit subjects only)	Conventional prefix plus the outcome in plain language
Applies to	Every PR (no mention of agents)	Every agent PR, no exceptions; recommended for human PRs
Template headings	Summary, Proof	What changed, Why, How, Before and after (with table), Verification, plus a model-line comment

Verification

• Tables and code block render: passed both files through GitHub's GFM renderer (gh api markdown -f mode=gfm). Each produced a table with Metric, Before, After and Change headers, and the model-line example renders as a code block.
• PR labeler unaffected: ran the five impact matchers from .github/workflows/pr-labeler.yml against the new template with "No migration / no special steps" ticked. Result: [ 'Impact: Low Risk' ], unchanged. The new sections and comment have no checkboxes.
• Nothing parses the old headings: git grep on main across .github, scripts and code files for ## Summary, ## Proof and PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE found only apps/web-api/src/routes/account/chat-issues.ts, which builds its own unrelated issue text.
• Attribution counts: these come from gh pr list --repo phaseoteam/Phaseo --state all --limit 40 bodies, checked for model names and the Claude Code footer. The two model-name matches were PRs about models, not attribution lines.
• Example commands exist: @phaseo/gateway-api test is pnpm exec vitest run. db:schema:check and docs:links are root scripts.
• Not verified: no build or tests were run, because the change is Markdown only. The example numbers in the AGENTS.md table (4.8 s → 2.1 s, 1.9 MB → 640 KB) are illustrative and labelled "For example".

📝 Walkthrough

AGENTS.md and the pull request template now specify a structured description format. The guidance covers evidence, approach, before-and-after information, verification, and model attribution.

Changes: Pull request description guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define description requirements AGENTS.md	The guidance defines five ordered description sections and specifies evidence, verification, model attribution, redaction, and production-safety requirements.
Apply requirements in the template .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md	The template replaces Summary and Proof prompts with structured prompts and asks for reviewer context and agent model and harness details.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ddaff

No concrete merge-blocking issue is established. The footer-placement concern remains dependent on external harness behavior; the template’s model line is clearly an example.
