A write is not just a write

The point became clear to me while working on the GitHub adapter (a more or less simple GitHub gateway for AI agents creating PRs).

At first, creating a pull request looks like one write. A branch is created, commits are pushed, and a PR appears. The API call is concrete, and the result is easy to name.

But after building around it for a while, the word "write" started to feel too imprecise. A pull request is not only a technical object. It changes the state of a repository and creates something that another person may have to review. If it duplicates an existing proposal, it can already be noise before anyone reviews it. If it touches a deployment file instead of a README, the same operation suddenly has a very different weight.

The operation name did not change.

The effect did.
