Description

Create an intelligent GitHub Actions workflow that automatically updates documentation using LLM-powered analysis when code changes are merged to the main branch.

Requirements

Change Detection

  • Use git diff to detect meaningful code or API changes
  • Focus on changes that impact user-facing functionality or developer APIs
  • Skip cosmetic changes like formatting or comments
  • Analyze changes in Python and TypeScript files

LLM Integration

  • Integrate with OpenAI or Claude API for intelligent documentation generation
  • Use LLM to analyze code changes and determine documentation impact
  • Generate or update relevant markdown files in README.md and docs/ directory
  • Optionally update inline docstrings in changed Python and TypeScript files

Documentation Updates

  • Update existing documentation sections that are affected by code changes
  • Generate new documentation sections for new features or APIs
  • Maintain consistent documentation style and structure
  • Only commit changes when meaningful updates are detected

Workflow Configuration

  • Trigger only on merge to main branch
  • Make API provider configurable for future extensibility
  • Support modular architecture for different LLM providers
  • Include proper error handling and fallback mechanisms

Acceptance Criteria

  • GitHub Actions workflow created for post-merge documentation updates
  • Git diff analysis identifies meaningful code changes
  • LLM API integration functional with configurable provider
  • Documentation files updated automatically when relevant
  • Inline docstrings updated for changed functions/classes
  • Changes committed back to repository or PR created for review
  • Workflow only runs on actual functional changes
  • Modular design supports multiple LLM providers

Technical Considerations

  • Secure API key management for LLM services
  • Rate limiting and cost control for API calls
  • Git configuration for automated commits
  • Conflict resolution for concurrent documentation changes
  • Rollback mechanism for incorrect automated updates
