 #### Process replay tests
 
-[Process replay](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/blob/master/test/external/process_replay/process_replay.py) compares your PR's generated kernels against master. If your PR is a refactor or speedup without any expected behavior change, It should include [run_process_replay] in the PR title, [example](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/pull/4995). Note that you should keep your branch up-to-date with master.

 Process replay is a tool for creating a diff of generated kernels between two commits. By default, process replay doesn't assert kernel diffs.
 
-Refactor and speedup prs must enable the assert by including `[run_process_replay]` in the pr title.
+Refactor and speedup prs must enable the assert by including `[pr]` in the pull request title.
 
 Note that process replay [early stops when over 20% of kernels change, for speed.](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/pull/5480).
