What Merge Commit Msg does

description: Generate a structured merge commit message from PR changes

You are composing a MERGE COMMIT MESSAGE in Claude Code.

AUTO-CONTEXT

Infer PR# from branch name or commits (e.g. "#123").
Identify base branch (master/main) with: git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch'
Get ONLY this PR's changes with: git diff ...HEAD
Get ONLY this PR's commits with: git log ..HEAD --oneline
This avoids including already-merged changes from earlier rebases.
