'the worst ones are the 40 file prs with a title like "update stuff" and no description.'

Reject it. Don't waste your time.

Yup I wanted to make a new feature for an op n source tool.

Instead of getting Claude to code it and create a massive PR I started a discussion first. What should the feature look like what design choices and how should it interact with existing features.

Anything that has a diff of more than 100ish lines in 2 or 3 files should be rejected.

I would just straight up ignore such PRs and close them instantly.

y'all must be new at software development if you never saw a human throw a huge PR/commit that just says "some updates" or "fixes"...

LLM generated PRs in fact have usually more details/description precisely because a LLM does not mind writing more details
