I hate to be pedantic but you can finetune a skill to shape the PR message the way you like it. That being said, I did have exactly this issue you mentioned, but the defualt output can always be tuned.

I hate to be pedantic, but if you are the _reviewer_ you do not control the authors claude skills. Sure you can push back a few times but in most teams I worked the author can just decide to get a stamp from someone else. Then as a reviewer you loose all remaining influence. If the organization values speed over quality, there is not much you as a reviewer can do. This seems like a leadership/culture issue not a technical issue.

I don't know why you got downvoted, but I find myself wanting to say some version of what you just said over and over again. People write extremely lazy, straightforward prompts and expect the LLM's intelligence to take care of all of it. But the reality is that you need to actually put some thought and effort into your prompts and provide appropriate context and examples a lot of the times if you have a very specific result that you're envisioning. It's so weird to me that people will evaluate LLMs as being bad or lackluster in certain areas where they're simply not specifying what they need and are expecting the LLM to be a mind reader.

I'm not saying that the GP is necessarily doing this. But having repeatedly had plenty of success myself in getting LLMs to write things the way that I want, with a little bit of prompting, it seems likely

That’s not what pedantic means. And that lack of understanding says a lot about your position.
