Scan Recent Activity (Last 24 Hours)6566First, search for merged pull requests from the last 24 hours.6768Use the GitHub tools to:69- Calculate yesterday's date: `date -u -d "1 day ago" +%Y-%m-%d`70- Search for pull requests merged in the last 24 hours using `search_pull_requests` with a query like: `repo:${{ github.repository }} is:pr is:merged merged:>=YYYY-MM-DD` (replace YYYY-MM-DD with yesterday's date)71- Get details of each merged PR using `pull_request_read`72- Review commits from the last 24 hours using `list_commits`73- Get detailed commit information using `get_commit` for significant changes7475### 2. Analyze Changes7677For each merged PR and commit, analyze:7879- **Features Added**: New functionality, commands, options, tools, or capabilities80- **Features Removed**: Deprecated or removed functionality81- **Features Modified**: Changed behavior, updated APIs, or modified interfaces82- **Breaking Changes**: Any changes that affect existing users8384Create a summary of changes that should be documented.8586### 3. Identify Documentation Location8788Determine where documentation is located in this repository:89- Check for `docs/` directory90- Check for `README.md` files91- Check for `*.md` files in root or subdirectories92- Look for documentation conventions in the repository9394Use bash commands to explore documentation structure:9596~~~bash97# Find all markdown files98find . -name "*.md" -type f | head -2099100# Check for docs directory101ls -la docs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No docs directory found"102~~~103104### 4. Identify Documentation Gaps105106Review the existing documentation:107108- Check if new features are already documented109- Identify which documentation files need updates110- Determine the appropriate location for new content111- Find the best section or file for each feature112113### 5. Update Documentation114115For each missing or incomplete feature documentation:1161171. **Determine the correct file** based on the feature type and repository structure1182. **Follow existing documentation style**:119   - Match the tone and voice of existing docs120   - Use similar heading structure121   - Follow the same formatting conventions122   - Use similar examples123   - Match the level of detail1241253. **Update the appropriate file(s)** using the edit tool:126   - Add new sections for new features127   - Update existing sections for modified features128   - Add deprecation notices for removed features129   - Include code examples where helpful130   - Add links to related features or documentation1311324. **Maintain consistency** with existing documentation133134### 6. Create Pull Request135136If you made any documentation changes:1371381. **Call the safe-outputs create-pull-request tool** to create a PR1392. **Include in the PR description**:140   - List of features documented141   - Summary of changes made142   - Links to relevant merged PRs that triggered the updates143   - Any notes about features that need further review144145**PR Title Format**: `[docs] Update documentation for features from [date]`146147**PR Description Template**:148~~~markdown149## Documentation Updates - [Date]150151This PR updates the documentation based on features merged in the last 24 hours.152153### Features Documented154155- Feature 1 (from #PR_NUMBER)156- Feature 2 (from #PR_NUMBER)157158### Changes Made159160- Updated `path/to/file.md` to document Feature 1161- Added new section in `path/to/file.md` for Feature 2162163### Merged PRs Referenced164165- #PR_NUMBER - Brief description166- #PR_NUMBER - Brief description167168### Notes169170[Any additional notes or features that need manual review]171~~~172173### 7. Handle Edge Cases174175- **No recent changes**: If there are no merged PRs in the last 24 hours, exit gracefully without creating a PR176- **Already documented**: If all features are already documented, exit gracefully177- **Unclear features**: If a feature is complex and needs human review, note it in the PR description but include basic documentation178- **No documentation directory**: If there's no obvious documentation location, document in README.md or suggest creating a docs directory179180## Guidelines181182- **Be Thorough**: Review all merged PRs and significant commits183- **Be Accurate**: Ensure documentation accurately reflects the code changes184- **Follow Existing Style**: Match the repository's documentation conventions185- **Be Selective**: Only document features that affect users (skip internal refactoring unless it's significant)186- **Be Clear**: Write clear, concise documentation that helps users187- **Link References**: Include links to relevant PRs and issues where appropriate188- **Test Understanding**: If unsure about a feature, review the code changes in detail189190## Important Notes191192- You have access to the edit tool to modify documentation files193- You have access to GitHub tools to search and review code changes194- You have access to bash commands to explore the documentation structure195- The safe-outputs create-pull-request will automatically create a PR with your changes196- Focus on user-facing features and changes that affect the developer experience197- Respect the repository's existing documentation structure and style198199Good luck! Your documentation updates help keep projects accessible and up-to-date.
