Upstream Release Docs

Upstream Release Docs #22

name: Upstream Release Docs
# Reacts to Renovate-authored PRs that bump a `version:` in
# .github/upstream-projects.yaml. For all four tracked projects
# (toolhive, toolhive-registry-server, toolhive-studio,
# toolhive-cloud-ui), the flow is identical:
#
# 1. Renovate opens a version-bump PR
# 2. This workflow fires on the PR event, detects which project
# changed, shallow-clones the upstream at the new tag
# 3. Syncs declared upstream assets into static/ via sync-assets.mjs
# (release-asset downloads, tarball extractions, file-from-clone
# copies — see `assets:` in upstream-projects.yaml)
# 4. For toolhive specifically, downloads the CRD manifests tarball
# and runs extract-crd-schemas.mjs + generate-crd-pages.mjs +
# bundle-upstream-schema.mjs to produce our opinionated reference
# MDX (the CRD tarball and toolhive-core schemas are shipped as
# release assets by stacklok/toolhive#4982)
# 5. Runs two Claude Opus sessions: a generation pass running the
# upstream-release-docs skill, then a fresh-context editorial
# pass running docs-review over the changed files. Both have
# `gh` CLI access so they can fetch PR descriptions and linked
# issues for product context.
# 6. Auto-fixes prettier/eslint on the skill-touched files,
# commits everything to the PR branch, augments the PR body,
# assigns reviewers from non-bot release contributors
#
# Renovate is configured with rebaseWhen: never + recreateWhen: never
# so we can push commits without force-push races.

You are running in GitHub Actions with no interactive user. Follow
these steps exactly and do NOT ask clarifying questions -- proceed
best-effort at every decision point.

REPO: ${{ steps.detect.outputs.repo }}
PREV_TAG: ${{ steps.detect.outputs.prev_tag }}
NEW_TAG: ${{ steps.detect.outputs.new_tag }}
CLONE: ${{ steps.clone.outputs.scratch_dir }}
DOCS_HINTS: ${{ steps.hints.outputs.docs_paths }}
Run /upstream-release-docs ${{ steps.detect.outputs.repo }} ${{ steps.detect.outputs.new_tag }}
Execute all 6 phases. Prefer reading source code from the
local clone at ${{ steps.clone.outputs.scratch_dir }}
instead of `gh api contents?ref=<tag>` -- it's already at
the tag and doesn't consume API quota.
For Phase 2 step 4 (context on major new features), do the
following INSTEAD of the skill's default "ask the user"
behavior (there is no interactive user here):
1. Use `gh pr view <NUMBER> --repo ${{ steps.detect.outputs.repo }}
--json title,body,author` to fetch the PR description
for each major new feature. The PR body typically
contains the "why" framing the author wrote when
opening the PR -- motivation, intended consumers,
design decisions.
2. If the PR body references linked issues (look for
"Closes #N", "Fixes #N", "Refs #N"), fetch those
with `gh issue view <N> --repo ${{ steps.detect.outputs.repo }}`
when they are likely to contain product context.
3. Write the "why"/consumer narrative directly in the
relevant docs page using what you learned. This is a
best-effort pass -- reviewers will refine it during
normal review.
4. Only defer to GAPS.md when the rationale demonstrably
cannot be derived from available sources. Genuine
examples: the PR body points to an internal design
doc or product spec you cannot access; multiple
plausible consumer narratives exist and picking one
would mislead readers; a release timeline or
commitment needs product-team confirmation.
GAPS.md contract (only if you genuinely need to defer):
- ONLY include content gaps a human reviewer must fill
in. Do NOT include environment/sandbox limitations
(e.g. "couldn't run npm build") -- those are
infrastructure concerns; the PR's CI handles them.
Do NOT include "not a gap, documented for clarity"
commentary.
- Each entry MUST include a "Helper prompt for local
Claude" block a reviewer can paste verbatim into
their local Claude Code to resolve the gap. The
prompt must reference the specific file(s) to edit,
the PR number that provides context, and the narrow
piece of information the human needs to supply or
confirm.
- Each entry MUST @-mention the PR author (skip this
for bot authors: renovate[bot], github-actions[bot],
stacklokbot).
GAPS.md entry format:
```
### <Feature name> (PR #123 by @alice)
<One paragraph: what's missing, why you couldn't
resolve it from available sources.>
**File(s):** path/to/file.mdx
**Helper prompt for local Claude:**
> <Paste-ready prompt. Self-contained. References the
> specific file(s), the PR number, and the narrow
> piece of info needed. A human should be able to
> paste this into `claude` locally and get a usable
> response without additional context.>
```
Do NOT create GAPS.md if every feature's "why" was
resolvable from PR descriptions. An empty GAPS.md is
worse than no file.
Follow the skill's own guidance on auto-generated reference
files (Phase 4 step 5, Phase 4 step 6) -- do not hand-edit
docs/toolhive/reference/cli/, static/api-specs/, or
docs/toolhive/reference/crds/. Those are synced or
regenerated from release assets by earlier steps in this
workflow; if a release genuinely needs hand-written
reference updates, note that in GAPS.md.
If you conclude there are no doc-relevant changes for this
release (Phase 3 impact map is empty), stop and write
NO_CHANGES.md at repo root with a one-line explanation.
Still do not hand-edit any file.
# Invocation 2: editorial re-review with FRESH CONTEXT. Running

You are running in GitHub Actions with no interactive user. Follow
these steps exactly and do NOT ask clarifying questions -- proceed
best-effort at every decision point.
A previous Claude session just generated content for the
upstream release ${{ steps.detect.outputs.repo }} ${{ steps.detect.outputs.new_tag }}.
You are a fresh reviewer with no prior context from that
session. Your job is purely editorial.
Run /docs-review over every file the previous commit
changed (use `git show --name-only HEAD` or `git diff
--name-only HEAD~1 HEAD` to find them). Apply every
actionable fix per the skill's standard guidance.
If you spot a factual concern, re-verify against the
local clone at ${{ steps.clone.outputs.scratch_dir }}
first. You also have gh CLI access -- use `gh pr view
<N> --repo ${{ steps.detect.outputs.repo }}` to pull
context from the upstream PR if needed. Don't introduce
new claims; only refine what's already there.
Do NOT re-run /upstream-release-docs. Do NOT touch files
under docs/toolhive/reference/cli/, static/api-specs/,
or docs/toolhive/reference/crds/ — those are
regenerated from release assets and aren't yours to edit.
Do NOT touch GAPS.md or NO_CHANGES.md at the repo root
if they exist -- they're signal files handed off to the

# format checks" failure requiring a human push. Scope via git
# diff vs the pre-skill SHA so we don't reformat auto-generated
# reference assets (which would fight the generators).
