Haven't tried it yet, but it looks neat!
My pain points with PRs where people vibe coded something is a bit different though:
- I'd like to get an idea how they prompted and developed the PR.
- I want to see if for example they just took everything the AI gave them or if they interacted with it critically
- I want to see some convincing proof that they tested it, e.g. manually. I.e. along the lines of what Simon describes here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/18/code-proven-to-work/
- I want to see an AI doing a review as well

Yep that seems to be a common sentiment! Definitely some interesting areas around capturing agent conversations in commit history that could make this possible
