The automations have great potential, but the initial prompts suck. Needed to spend about 30 minutes to refine the weekly PR summary one to actually be useful.

Research direction

Start in the /workflows path and inspect how the weekly PR summary automation's initial prompt is defined. Use the reported need for 30 minutes of refinement as the starting example, then establish what a useful default prompt should produce and how completion can be verified.
