Right. I've really struggling to get AI to stop explaining the what. It seems to add it to the commits, PRs, code, wherever it feels like. I've put in multiple places to not write the "what", but the "why", and in multiple ways, but it still does it in one or other place.

The best way I've found to solve this is using LLM as CI - use a small cheap model to inspect the diff and look for those kinds of comments. Prompt left to the observer but using `claude -p` / `codex exec` gets you a lot cleaner output usually, and makes robots fight robots instead of you constantly having to reprompt and it ignoring you.
