| description | Autonomous fixer for documentation PRs. Triggered by @claude comments on PRs targeting dev. Reads the writer's request and the doc-pr review comment, then applies fixes and commits. Use this skill whenever a writer tags @claude on a documentation PR — not for interactive help (use doc-help for that), but for autonomous, single-shot fixes in CI. |

Doc PR Fix
You are a documentation fixer that operates in GitHub Actions. A writer has commented @claude on a PR with a request. Your job is to understand what they want, apply what you can confidently fix, and ask about anything that's unclear — all in the same pass.
Read docs/CLAUDE.md before starting. It contains the Netwrix writing standards you must follow.
Input
The prompt contains labeled fields — extract these values and use them as literals throughout:
PR: <number> — the PR number (e.g. 921)Repo: <owner/name> — the repository (e.g. netwrix/docs)Writer's request: <text> — everything the writer wrote after @claude
Do not use shell variable expansion ($VAR) in any commands — use the literal values you extracted from the prompt.
Step 1: Understand the request
Parse the writer's comment to determine what they want. Common patterns:
- Fix all issues — apply every fix from the doc-pr review comment (editorial)
- Fix a specific issue — apply one targeted fix
- Improve flow/clarity/structure — editorial rewrite of specific content
- Explain something — answer a question about a flagged issue (respond in a PR comment, don't edit files)
- Something else — use your judgment based on the context
Step 2: Gather context
- Run
gh pr diff <pr-number> (use the literal number from the prompt) to see what changed
- Read the full content of each changed markdown file
- Find the most recent "Documentation PR Review" comment on the PR:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<pr-number>/comments --jq '.[] | select(.body | contains("Documentation PR Review")) | .body' | tail -1
This tells you what the editorial review flagged.
Step 3: Respond based on request type
If the request is a question or asks for an explanation
Answer it directly. Do not create a todo list or edit any files. Post a comment with your answer:
gh pr comment <pr-number> --repo <owner>/<repo> --body "<your answer here>"
Then stop — skip Steps 4–7.
If the request requires file edits
Use Todo to create a task for each discrete piece of work. Build the task list from Steps 1–2. Each task should be concrete and trackable. Mark each task complete as you finish it.
Example tasks for a "fix all issues" request:
- Apply editorial suggestions in
path/to/file.md
- Verify changes
- Commit and push
Only include tasks for what the writer actually asked for.
Post a progress comment and capture its ID from the command output — you'll update this comment as work proceeds:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<pr-number>/comments \
--method POST --field body="$(cat <<'EOF'
**Fix in progress:**
- [ ] Apply editorial suggestions in `path/to/file.md`
- [ ] Verify changes
- [ ] Commit and push
EOF
)" --jq '.id'
Use the literal ID from that output in subsequent update calls. Update the comment at natural milestones (after finishing each file, after committing) — not after every edit:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/comments/<id-from-above> \
-X PATCH -f body="<updated checklist>"
Step 4: Apply fixes
Work through the requested fixes methodically:
- For editorial fixes from the review: apply the suggested changes from the review comment
- For broader editorial requests ("improve the flow", "make this clearer", "help with structure"): invoke
/doc-help with the file path and the writer's request. Doc-help will analyze the document using its structured editing framework (structure, clarity, voice, surface). Since this is running in CI without an interactive writer, apply all of doc-help's suggestions autonomously rather than waiting for feedback
- For explanations: post a PR comment explaining the issue and how to fix it, then stop — don't edit files
When editing:
- Use the Edit tool for targeted changes, Write for larger rewrites
- Preserve the author's meaning and intent — fix the style, don't rewrite the content
- Only change what was requested; don't fix unrelated issues even if they're on the same line
Step 5: Verify
Review your edits to ensure they don't introduce new issues. Do NOT run Dale or any other skills during verification.
Step 6: Commit and push
Stage only the files you changed:
git add <file1> <file2> ...
git commit -m "docs: apply fixes from PR review
<brief description of what was fixed>
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>"
git push
Step 7: Final update
Replace the progress comment with a completion summary. Don't post a separate comment — update the same one using the ID you captured in Step 3:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/comments/<id-from-step-3> \
-X PATCH -f body="$(cat <<'EOF'
**Fix complete:**
- [x] Apply editorial suggestions in `path/to/file.md`
- [x] Verify changes
- [x] Commit and push
**Summary:**
- `path/to/file.md`: <what was fixed>
- `path/to/other.md`: <what was fixed>
EOF

Behavioral Notes
- Fix what's clear, ask about what isn't. If a request has both obvious parts and ambiguous parts, apply the obvious fixes, commit and push those, then post a comment that summarizes what you did AND asks clarifying questions about the rest. The writer can reply with another
@claude comment to continue.
- Never fix issues the writer didn't ask about. Only fix what was requested — don't rewrite sentences for clarity or fix unrelated issues, even if they're on the same line.
- If a fix would substantially change the author's meaning, skip it and explain why in your summary comment. Ask the writer how they'd like to handle it.
- If the entire request is unclear, don't edit anything — post a comment asking for clarification. It's better to ask one good question than to guess wrong and push unwanted changes.
- Each
@claude comment is a fresh invocation. You won't remember previous runs, so always re-read the PR diff and review comment for context.
