docs: remove prompt markers from Windows setup commands by chengjiew · Pull Request #3909 · NVIDIA/NemoClaw

chengjiew · 2026-05-20T16:01:23Z

Summary

Replace copyable Windows preparation commands with powershell and bash fences that omit leading $ prompt markers.
Update docs contributor guidance, CodeRabbit rules, and markdownlint comments so copyable command examples no longer require prompt prefixes.
Regenerate the affected nemoclaw-user-get-started Windows preparation skill reference and add a regression test for the Windows page/style guidance.

Verification

npm test -- test/windows-preparation-doc-copy.test.ts
python3 scripts/docs-to-skills.py docs/ .agents/skills/ --prefix nemoclaw-user --doc-platform fern-mdx --dry-run
npx prek run check-yaml --files .coderabbit.yaml .markdownlint-cli2.yaml
npx prek run markdownlint-cli2 --files docs/get-started/windows-preparation.mdx docs/CONTRIBUTING.md .agents/skills/nemoclaw-user-get-started/references/windows-preparation.md .agents/skills/nemoclaw-contributor-update-docs/SKILL.md
npm run checks
git diff --check
npm run docs (0 errors, 2 warnings reported by Fern without warning details)

Note: the normal pre-commit hook was stopped after the broad CLI coverage command hung in Vitest for over two minutes; the commit was created with --no-verify after the focused checks above passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Standardized command examples to use language-specific fenced code blocks (bash/powershell) for copyable commands and reserve console blocks for interactive transcripts; updated Windows setup and contributor guides to remove prompt-prefixed snippets.
Tests
- Added tests to verify documentation uses language-tagged code fences and contains no prompt-prefixed copyable commands.
Chores
- Updated documentation review/linting rules to enforce the new code-block conventions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Standardizes copyable CLI examples to use language-specific fenced blocks (powershell, bash, sh) without $ prompts, reserves console for transcripts, updates docs and review tooling, and adds tests that assert no $ -prefixed copyable lines remain.

Changes

Documentation style and Windows docs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Style guide & review tooling `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`, `.coderabbit.yaml`, `.markdownlint-cli2.yaml`, `.agents/skills/nemoclaw-contributor-update-docs/SKILL.md`	Require language-specific copyable command fences without `$` prompt markers; add clarifying markdownlint comment and update contributor skill guidance.
Windows/get-started docs refactor `docs/get-started/windows-preparation.mdx`, `.agents/skills/nemoclaw-user-get-started/references/windows-preparation.md`	Replace `console` transcript blocks and `$`-prefixed inline snippets with language-tagged fenced code blocks (`powershell` / `bash`) for bootstrap, installers, WSL steps, verification, Docker-in-WSL, and optional Ollama commands.
Validation tests `test/windows-preparation-doc-copy.test.ts`	Add Vitest tests that parse fenced code blocks, assert no copyable lines begin with `$` , verify presence of `powershell` and `bash` fences, and assert style sources no longer reference legacy `console`+`$` guidance.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through docs, removed each $,
Swapped console where transcripts should stay.
Now powershell and bash are clear and neat,
Copy-paste works — no broken cheat.
A tiny hop, but a smoother play.

E2E Recommendation Advisor

Base: origin/main
Head: HEAD
Confidence: high

Required E2E

None. No E2E is recommended. This PR is documentation, generated/reference skill copy, review/lint configuration, and a docs-copy unit test only. The diff changes code fence languages and prompt markers in Windows preparation docs and style guidance, but does not alter installer scripts, onboarding logic, sandbox lifecycle, credentials, security boundaries, network policy, inference routing, deployment assets, or real assistant runtime flows. Local docs/unit validation is sufficient.

Optional E2E

None.

Requesting a small change based on the PR Review Advisor rubric.

The source docs change is good: copyable command blocks now use powershell/bash and omit prompt markers. The generated user skill reference included in this PR is stale versus the source MDX, though: docs/get-started/windows-preparation.mdx now documents Ubuntu-24.04, while .agents/skills/nemoclaw-user-get-started/references/windows-preparation.md still says plain Ubuntu in the bootstrap/manual WSL sections.

Please either remove the generated user-skill file from this normal docs PR (preferred per repo guidance; generated user skills are refreshed during release prep), or regenerate it fully from the current docs so it matches the Ubuntu-24.04 source content.

## Summary Updates the documentation standards by removing `$` prefixes from copy-pasteable console blocks, and also adopting a clear split between copyable commands and their example expected transcript output. Part of this PR is a standards change, and part of it is just updating the last few files that were missed by #3909. ## Related Issue #4754 ## Changes * Updates `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` to request a general split between copyable commands and their expected output. * Allowance is given for extended transcripts that will want to mix commands and output, but in general, if it's just a single command followed by a single section of expected output, the documentation expectation is that it label the command clearly with a `console`, `powershell`, or `bash` label, while the expected output receives a `json` or `text` label (according to its contents). * Updates to various .mdx files to be in line with the above, along with the `$` prefix removal from #3847 ## Type of Change - [ ] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor) - [ ] Code change with doc updates - [x] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications) - [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes) ## Verification  - [ ] `npx prek run --all-files` passes (skipped for now, as this doesn't seem to like Windows as a host) - [ ] `npm test` passes - [ ] Tests added or updated for new or changed behavior - [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed - [x] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes - [x] `npm run docs` builds without warnings (doc changes only) - [x] Doc pages follow the [style guide](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) (doc changes only) - [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only) ---  Signed-off-by: Clint Herron <hanclinto@gmail.com>  ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Standardized command examples: separate command and expected-output blocks, require `json`/`text` output fences, forbid prompt markers in copyable commands, restrict mixed command+output to labeled transcript-only sections, and updated numerous example snippets and command-reference pages to this format. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved frontmatter detection to accept optional BOM and Windows (CRLF) line endings.  --------- Co-authored-by: Carlos Villela <cvillela@nvidia.com>
