๐๏ธ Documentation Unbloat
May 8, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
For an overview of all available workflows, see the main README.
Review and simplify documentation by removing verbosity while maintaining clarity
The Documentation Unbloat workflow runs regularly (daily by default) to remove duplicate content, excessive bullet points, redundant examples, and verbose descriptions - while preserving all essential information, links, and technical details.
Installation
# Install the 'gh aw' extension
gh extension install github/gh-aw
# Add the workflow to your repository
gh aw add-wizard githubnext/agentics/unbloat-docs
This walks you through adding the workflow to your repository.
How It Works
graph LR
A[Scan Documentation] --> B[Identify Verbosity]
B --> C{Bloat Found?}
C -->|Yes| D[Remove Redundancy]
D --> E[Preserve Accuracy]
E --> F[Create PR]
C -->|No| G[Report: Docs are Lean]
The workflow improves exactly one file per run for easy review. Files with disable-agentic-editing: true in frontmatter are skipped. Uses cache memory to track previously cleaned files.
For scheduled runs, the workflow is skipped if there are already 8 or more open PRs with its title prefix, to avoid overwhelming maintainers.
Usage
Commands
You can start a run immediately:
gh aw run unbloat-docs
Usage as a General-Purpose Assistant
Trigger in a PR comment:
/unbloat
Configuration
The workflow runs regularly (daily by default). You can customize directories to scan, success criteria, and exclusion patterns.
After editing run gh aw compile to update the workflow and commit all changes to the default branch.
Triggering CI on Pull Requests
To automatically trigger CI checks on PRs created by this workflow, configure an additional repository secret GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN. See the triggering CI documentation for setup instructions.
