Igor Šćekić 1346963e59 feat: daily docs-sync bot keeping kilo-docs in sync with merged PRs (#12512)
* feat: daily docs-sync bot workflow (Kilo CLI)

Adds a scheduled workflow that keeps packages/kilo-docs in sync with PRs
merged to Kilo-Org/cloud and Kilo-Org/kilocode:

- watermark.mjs derives the processing window from the bot's own PR body
  marker (self-healing, no external state; 72h fallback, 14d cap)
- collect.mjs queries merged PRs via the GitHub API and applies a
  deterministic pre-filter (bots, chores, docs-only PRs)
- triage.mjs classifies PRs in chunks of 25 with kilo run; failed chunks
  degrade to unclassified instead of failing the run
- edit.mjs updates docs in batches of 5 PRs with kilo run, bounded per
  batch; failures surface as skipped entries in the PR body
- verify runs the kilo-docs build + test suite; one LLM fix pass on
  failure; still-red becomes a draft PR
- upsert-pr.mjs maintains one rolling auto-docs PR (appends while open,
  fresh branch after merge), with a 15-file draft cap and a
  machine-readable processed-through watermark

Also adds docs-sync.yml to the workflow allowlist in
script/check-workflows.ts.

* fix: correct kilo run invocation and auth

- message positional must come before flags: --file is multi-value and
  consumes a trailing message as a file path (File not found)
- authenticate via the existing KILO_API_KEY repo secret (the kilo
  provider reads it natively); drop the DOCS_SYNC_KILO_CONFIG config
  secret requirement
- fix default model IDs: gateway provider id is kilo/, not kilocode/
- include stderr tail in triage/edit failure logs

* fix: handle kilo run double-printed assistant output

kilo run prints the assistant message twice (streaming render + final
summary), so stdout can contain the same JSON array back-to-back. Parse
the largest valid trailing array instead of slicing first-to-last
bracket. Verified against real chunked triage output.

* fix: reviewer-pass robustness fixes

- edit.mjs: unambiguous summary file path in the batch prompt and a
  fallback read when the agent drops the docs-sync-out/ prefix, so real
  edits never report as skipped
- prepare-branch.mjs: use the open auto-docs PR's actual head.ref
  instead of assuming docs/auto-sync
- upsert-pr.mjs: compute the 15-file draft cap on the cumulative PR
  diff (origin/main...HEAD), not just the latest commit

* fix: address Kilobot review findings

Security:
- sanitize HTML-comment sequences out of agent-generated PR body values
  so a crafted value cannot forge section markers or the watermark
- draft any PR whose diff touches non-content files in packages/kilo-docs
  (outside pages/ and lib/nav/) — build-executable changes force human
  review before merge
- on merge conflict, keep the conflicted rolling branch untouched
  (preserving human commits) and continue on a fresh dated branch that
  links the old PR

Resilience:
- retry GitHub API calls on network errors and 5xx, not just 403
  rate limits
- isolate per-PR collect failures instead of aborting the run
- trust watermark markers only on bot-authored PRs and clamp future
  dates loudly
- validate chunk triage entries belong to their chunk before the shared
  dedupe
- use changed_files for files_total and skip docs-only classification
  on truncated (300+) file lists
- pipe stderr in the edit pass so failure warnings carry the real CLI
  error

* fix: address second Kilobot review round

- escape pipe characters in changeRow actions (same as skippedRow)
- sanitize agent-chosen file paths before they land in draftReasons
  and the PR body (residual marker-forgery path via filenames)
- log expected fetch misses in prepare-branch instead of silent catches

* feat: keep bot-authored PRs in the docs-sync digest

Release and dependency bots ship user-facing changes (e.g. JetBrains
release PRs from kilo-maintainer[bot]). The auto-docs label check and
docs-only path filter remain as the loop guards.

2.3 KiB

You are the Kilo Code documentation bot. You update the public product documentation in packages/kilo-docs (a Markdoc/Next.js site served at kilo.ai/docs) so it reflects recently merged PRs. You are handling one batch of PRs; the batch files and your output file are named at the end of these instructions.

Before writing anything:

  1. Read packages/kilo-docs/AGENTS.md and packages/kilo-docs/STYLE_GUIDE.md and follow them exactly: Markdoc custom tags, the /docs prefix in image paths, navigation files under lib/nav/, redirect rules, and the generated-screenshot policy.
  2. Read the attached batch files: the full-details file (PR title, body, file list, patch_excerpt diffs) and the triage file (docs-worthiness verdicts, target sections, priorities).

For each PR in the batch, in priority order:

  • Find the most relevant existing docs page(s) and make minimal, precise updates in the style of the surrounding content.
  • Create a new page only when no existing page fits; then add it to the matching nav file in packages/kilo-docs/lib/nav/.
  • Document only behavior that is actually present in the merged diff. If the PR body or diff shows the feature is behind a flag or otherwise not user-visible yet, skip it and record why.
  • If a PR turns out not to need documentation, skip it and record why. Trust evidence over the triage verdict.

Hard rules:

  • Only create or modify files under packages/kilo-docs/. Never touch code, tests, config, images, or anything outside that directory.
  • Never remove or rename pages. Never document unreleased behavior. Never copy internal PR discussion into the docs; write user-facing documentation.
  • Do not run git commands and do not commit anything; automation handles git.
  • Keep the change small and precise. Do not rewrite sections that are already accurate.

When finished, write the summary JSON file named in the batch specifics below: a JSON array with exactly one entry per batch PR, consumed by automation (this file is never committed). Use action values like updated <path>, created <path>, or skipped. Example:

[{"pr": 123, "url": "https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/pull/123", "action": "updated pages/code-with-ai/platforms/cli.md", "reason": "documented --variant flag"}, {"pr": 124, "url": "https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/pull/124", "action": "skipped", "reason": "feature behind unreleased flag"}]
