That's why LLM exist, you can go there, paste the link and specify the number of words you want the synthesis. Or just take a few minutes and read it entirely. Nobody forces you.
How fun to see that the most common insult in 2026 is that something is AI-generated. Is this comment too? Can you provide the prompt you use and the automation you have to increase your karma points?
My complete reasoning, notes, errors have never been part of the commit. I don't see a valid reason on why the raw conversation must be included. Rather I have hooks (or just "manually" invoked) to process all of it and update the relevant documentation that I've been putting under docs/.
If you also ensure the AI writes relevant (and correct) docs, and also code comments and commit message, then I agree there is not much need for extra info, e.g. prompts / session distillation. I am not sure that that is the case currently (though we might be getting there soon at least in some cases).
Agree with this, I've been testing how AGENTS.md and similar can do to automatically have these behaviours and I feel (it's just feeling) it's been improving over time. Clearly depends a lot on the agent, the model, the codebase size and so on.
Yup. Realistically there will always be simple changes that AI can handle completely (docs, comments, and commit message), and other changes where some human input will be hugely valuable.
Until then, it makes sense to automatically include some distillation of the AI generation process, by default, IMO.
