How it works

The selected style inserts Markdown headings for summary, change type, testing, checklist, and reviewer notes. Standard, minimal, and detailed variants change prompts; the output does not enforce branch protection or CI.

  • The standard variant balances context and brevity.
  • Project-specific commands remain placeholders.

When to use this

Repositories store templates under .github and use them for release review.

Edge cases

  • An empty test command leaves a prompt without an executable instruction.
  • Checkboxes are text until a reviewer or bot checks them.
  • The template cannot enforce required reviewers or status checks.
