Docs maintenance with Devin
Devin handled a docs team's recurring work: weekly changelog setup, GitHub issue and PR fixes, a multi-file term rename, and code explanations.
Devin found nearly every old term in a docs-wide rename, but the edits still needed 20+ manual commits.
Overview
How it was set up
Devin with a playbook for the weekly changelog setup. It is pointed at GitHub issues and PRs and opens pull requests against the docs repo.
Worth knowing
Find-and-replace edits produced awkward phrasing like "instant instant restore", and the team made over 20 manual polish commits afterward.
A prompt to start from
Set up a changelog for this [day]. Review issue [issue link], find the relevant parts of the docs, and open a PR with the updates.
