Batch sizing rules

For best results, requests should be:

  • One focused outcome
  • Deliverable in one PR-sized batch
  • Specific about done criteria
  • Clear about non-goals

What happens after submission

  1. Task is translated into a focused execution batch.
  2. Work is shipped on a branch with a clear commit.
  3. PR is opened with summary + blockers.
  4. Meaningful changes get a changelog entry.

If your request is too broad, it will be split into smaller sequential batches.
