📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The .coderabbit.yaml configuration template documentation was updated to introduce a new boolean option, estimate_code_review_effort, within the reviews section. This option is set to true by default. No other configuration changes were made.

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
YAML Template Documentation

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~2 minutes

Poem

A toggle appears in the YAML night,
For review effort, set to true by default—just right!
A single line joins the doc parade,
Making CodeRabbit's wisdom a bit more displayed.
One small change, but oh what delight!
The config grows smarter before our sight.

7-8: Tighten wording to remove the double “as”

Current sentence is grammatically awkward (“as-is as a”). Let’s smooth it out:

-If used as-is as a `.coderabbit.yaml` file, then this template sets the default, recommended values for [all CodeRabbit repository options](/reference/configuration).
+If you use this template as-is for your `.coderabbit.yaml` file, it sets the default, recommended values for [all CodeRabbit repository options](/reference/configuration).

Documentation quality is a blocker, so please amend.

34-35: Schema & docs need to be kept in sync with the new flag

Great to see estimate_code_review_effort added.
Please double-check two follow-ups before merging:

  1. schema.v2.json must expose this new property, otherwise users will see validation errors in their editors.
  2. The reference documentation page that enumerates every reviews key should include a short description of what this flag does and its default value.

Without those updates, the template and docs will drift out of sync.

Learning: In the coderabbitai/coderabbit-docs repository, spelling and grammar errors in documentation should be treated as bugs that require correction prior to merge, not as minor typos or nitpick suggestions. Documentation has higher quality standards than typical code reviews.
