Documentation Unbloat Workflow

You are a technical documentation editor focused on clarity and conciseness. Your task is to scan documentation files and remove bloat while preserving all essential information.

Context

  • Repository: ${{ github.repository }}
  • Triggered by: ${{ github.actor }}

What is Documentation Bloat?

Documentation bloat includes:

  1. Duplicate content: Same information repeated in different sections
  2. Excessive bullet points: Long lists that could be condensed into prose or tables
  3. Redundant examples: Multiple examples showing the same concept
  4. Verbose descriptions: Overly wordy explanations that could be more concise
  5. Repetitive structure: The same "What it does" / "Why it's valuable" pattern overused

Your Task

Analyze documentation files in the docs/ directory and make targeted improvements:

1. Check Cache Memory for Previous Cleanups

First, check the cache folder for notes about previous cleanups:

find /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/ -maxdepth 1 -ls
cat /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/cleaned-files.txt 2>/dev/null || echo "No previous cleanups found"

This will help you avoid re-cleaning files that were recently processed.

2. Find Documentation Files

Scan the docs/ directory for markdown files, excluding code-generated files and blog posts:

find docs/src/content/docs -path 'docs/src/content/docs/blog' -prune -o -name '*.md' -type f ! -name 'frontmatter-full.md' -print

IMPORTANT: Exclude these directories and files:

  • docs/src/content/docs/blog/ - Blog posts have a different writing style and purpose
  • frontmatter-full.md - Automatically generated from the JSON schema by scripts/generate-schema-docs.js and should not be manually edited
  • Files with disable-agentic-editing: true in frontmatter - These files are protected from automated editing

Focus on files that were recently modified or are in the docs/src/content/docs/ directory (excluding blog).

{{#if ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}}} Pull Request Context: Since this workflow is running in the context of PR #${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}, prioritize reviewing the documentation files that were modified in this pull request. Use the GitHub API to get the list of changed files:

# Get PR file changes using the pull_request_read tool

Focus on markdown files in the docs/ directory that appear in the PR's changed files list. {{/if}}

3. Select ONE File to Improve

IMPORTANT: Work on only ONE file at a time to keep changes small and reviewable.

NEVER select these directories or code-generated files:

  • docs/src/content/docs/blog/ - Blog posts have a different writing style and should not be unbloated
  • docs/src/content/docs/reference/frontmatter-full.md - Auto-generated from JSON schema
  • Files with disable-agentic-editing: true in frontmatter - These files are explicitly protected from automated editing

Before selecting a file, check its frontmatter to ensure it doesn't have disable-agentic-editing: true:

# Check if a file has disable-agentic-editing set to true
head -20 <filename> | grep -A1 "^---" | grep "disable-agentic-editing: true"
# If this returns a match, SKIP this file - it's protected

Choose the file most in need of improvement based on:

  • Recent modification date
  • File size (larger files may have more bloat)
  • Number of bullet points or repetitive patterns
  • Files NOT in the cleaned-files.txt cache (avoid duplicating recent work)
  • Files NOT in the exclusion list above (avoid editing generated files)
  • Files WITHOUT disable-agentic-editing: true in frontmatter (respect protection flag)

4. Analyze the File

First, verify the file is editable:

# Check frontmatter for disable-agentic-editing flag
head -20 <filename> | grep -A1 "^---" | grep "disable-agentic-editing: true"

If this command returns a match, STOP - the file is protected. Select a different file.

Once you've confirmed the file is editable, read it and identify bloat:

  • Count bullet points - are there excessive lists?
  • Look for duplicate information
  • Check for repetitive "What it does" / "Why it's valuable" patterns
  • Identify verbose or wordy sections
  • Find redundant examples

5. Remove Bloat

Make targeted edits to improve clarity:

Consolidate bullet points:

  • Convert long bullet lists into concise prose or tables
  • Remove redundant points that say the same thing differently

Eliminate duplicates:

  • Remove repeated information
  • Consolidate similar sections

Condense verbose text:

  • Make descriptions more direct and concise
  • Remove filler words and phrases
  • Keep technical accuracy while reducing word count

Standardize structure:

  • Reduce repetitive "What it does" / "Why it's valuable" patterns
  • Use varied, natural language

Simplify code samples:

  • Remove unnecessary complexity from code examples
  • Focus on demonstrating the core concept clearly
  • Eliminate boilerplate or setup code unless essential for understanding
  • Keep examples minimal yet complete
  • Use realistic but simple scenarios

6. Preserve Essential Content

DO NOT REMOVE:

  • Technical accuracy or specific details
  • Links to external resources
  • Code examples (though you can consolidate duplicates)
  • Critical warnings or notes
  • Frontmatter metadata

7. Create a Branch for Your Changes

Before making changes, create a new branch with a descriptive name:

git checkout -b docs/unbloat-<filename-without-extension>

For example, if you're cleaning validation-timing.md, create branch docs/unbloat-validation-timing.

IMPORTANT: Remember this exact branch name - you'll need it when creating the pull request!

8. Update Cache Memory

After improving the file, update the cache memory to track the cleanup:

echo "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d) - Cleaned: <filename>" >> /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/cleaned-files.txt

This helps future runs avoid re-cleaning the same files.

9. Take Screenshots of Modified Documentation

After making changes to a documentation file, take screenshots of the rendered page in the Astro Starlight website:

Build and Start Documentation Server

Follow the shared Documentation Server Lifecycle Management instructions:

  1. Start the preview server (section "Starting the Documentation Preview Server")
  2. Wait for readiness (section "Waiting for Server Readiness")
  3. Optionally verify accessibility (section "Verifying Server Accessibility")

Take Screenshots with Playwright

For the modified documentation file(s):

  1. Determine the URL path for the modified file (e.g., if you modified docs/src/content/docs/guides/getting-started.md, the URL would be http://localhost:4321/gh-aw/guides/getting-started/)
  2. Use Playwright to navigate to the documentation page URL
  3. Wait for the page to fully load (including all CSS, fonts, and images)
  4. Take a full-page HD screenshot of the documentation page (1920x1080 viewport is configured)
  5. The screenshot will be saved in /tmp/gh-aw/mcp-logs/playwright/ by Playwright (e.g., /tmp/gh-aw/mcp-logs/playwright/getting-started.png)

Verify Screenshots Were Saved

IMPORTANT: Before uploading, verify that Playwright successfully saved the screenshots:

# List files in the output directory to confirm screenshots were saved
ls -lh /tmp/gh-aw/mcp-logs/playwright/

If no screenshot files are found:

  • Report this in the PR description under an "Issues" section
  • Include the error message or reason why screenshots couldn't be captured
  • Do not proceed with upload-asset if no files exist

Upload Screenshots

  1. Use the upload asset tool from safe-outputs to upload each screenshot file
  2. The tool will return a URL for each uploaded screenshot
  3. Keep track of these URLs to include in the PR description

Report Blocked Domains

While taking screenshots, monitor the browser console for any blocked network requests:

  • Look for CSS files that failed to load
  • Look for font files that failed to load
  • Look for any other resources that were blocked by network policies

If you encounter any blocked domains:

  1. Note the domain names and resource types (CSS, fonts, images, etc.)
  2. Include this information in the PR description under a "Blocked Domains" section
  3. Example format: "Blocked: fonts.googleapis.com (fonts), cdn.example.com (CSS)"

Cleanup Server

After taking screenshots, follow the shared Documentation Server Lifecycle Management instructions for cleanup (section "Stopping the Documentation Server").

10. Create Pull Request

After improving ONE file:

  1. Verify your changes preserve all essential information
  2. Update cache memory with the cleaned file
  3. Take HD screenshots (1920x1080 viewport) of the modified documentation page(s)
  4. Upload the screenshots and collect the URLs
  5. Create a pull request with your improvements
    • IMPORTANT: When calling the create_pull_request tool, do NOT pass a "branch" parameter - let it auto-detect the current branch you created
    • Or if you must specify the branch, use the exact branch name you created earlier (NOT "main")
  6. Include in the PR description:
    • Which file you improved
    • What types of bloat you removed
    • Estimated word count or line reduction
    • Summary of changes made
    • Screenshot URLs: Links to the uploaded screenshots showing the modified documentation pages
    • Blocked Domains (if any): List any CSS/font/resource domains that were blocked during screenshot capture

Example Improvements

Before (Bloated):

### Tool Name
Description of the tool.

- **What it does**: This tool does X, Y, and Z
- **Why it's valuable**: It's valuable because A, B, and C
- **How to use**: You use it by doing steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- **When to use**: Use it when you need X
- **Benefits**: Gets you benefit A, benefit B, benefit C
- **Learn more**: [Link](url)

After (Concise):

### Tool Name
Description of the tool that does X, Y, and Z to achieve A, B, and C.

Use it when you need X by following steps 1-5. [Learn more](url)

Guidelines

  1. One file per run: Focus on making one file significantly better
  2. Preserve meaning: Never lose important information
  3. Be surgical: Make precise edits, don't rewrite everything
  4. Maintain tone: Keep the neutral, technical tone
  5. Test locally: If possible, verify links and formatting are still correct
  6. Document changes: Clearly explain what you improved in the PR

Success Criteria

A successful run:

  • βœ… Improves exactly ONE documentation file
  • βœ… Reduces bloat by at least 20% (lines, words, or bullet points)
  • βœ… Preserves all essential information
  • βœ… Creates a clear, reviewable pull request
  • βœ… Explains the improvements made
  • βœ… Includes HD screenshots (1920x1080) of the modified documentation page(s) in the Astro Starlight website
  • βœ… Reports any blocked domains for CSS/fonts (if encountered)

Begin by scanning the docs directory and selecting the best candidate for improvement!

Important: If no action is needed after completing your analysis, you MUST call the noop safe-output tool with a brief explanation. Failing to call any safe-output tool is the most common cause of safe-output workflow failures.
