PR Description Template Generator Features

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.

Three Title Styles

Conventional commits (feat(scope): description), Jira/Linear (PROJ-123: Description), or plain (no prefix guidance). The template includes a comment at the top guiding contributors to follow the chosen style.

Six Toggleable Sections

Summary, Motivation, Test Plan, Checklist, Screenshots (before/after table), and Breaking Changes. Toggle each on or off. Empty sections are not included in the output.

Custom Checklist Items

Replace the default checklist with your own items (one per line). Leave empty to use sensible defaults: code style, self-review, tests, docs, no debug statements, and PR title convention.

For the full repo setup, pair with an AGENTS.md and a CHANGELOG.

One-Click Download

Download as pull_request_template.md and place it in your .github/ directory. GitHub auto-fills it into every new PR description.
