Poem

In the warren of code, new paths are laid,
With guides for all who wish to aid.
Badges and stars now twinkle bright,
Inviting friends to join the site.
Hop in, contribute, don’t be shy—
Together, we’ll reach the sky!

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our support page for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

CONTRIBUTING.md (8)

5-9: “Getting Started” section is actionable.
The steps to star the repo, join Discord, and explore good first issue tickets guide users effectively. Consider adding a direct link to the good first issue filter (e.g. https://github.com/bluewave-labs/capture/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) to streamline discovery.


11-19: Comprehensive bug reporting guidelines.
You’ve covered title, reproduction steps, and expected vs. actual behavior well. Optionally, link “Search Existing Issues” to the issues page (https://github.com/bluewave-labs/capture/issues) to encourage contributors to check before filing.


20-27: Feature request instructions are clear.
The two-step checklist helps avoid duplicates and clarify proposals. Similar to bugs, you could add a “Create a Feature Request” link that points directly to an issue template if one exists.


37-43: Standardize repository clone instructions.
The SSH clone URL omits the .git extension while the HTTPS URL includes it. For consistency, consider:

-```bash
-  git clone [email protected]:bluewave-labs/capture
+```bash
+git clone [email protected]:bluewave-labs/capture.git

44-53: Align code block indentation.
Leading spaces before the backticks and commands may render inconsistently. To improve readability, de-indent fences and commands:

-   ```bash
-    go mod tidy
-    ```
+```bash
+go mod tidy
+```

55-61: Specify linting commands.
You mention running linters but don’t name one. Consider adding an example (e.g., golangci-lint run) so contributors know exactly how to invoke the linter.


63-69: Branch and commit workflow is clear.
The steps are succinct. For consistency and conventional history, you might reference a commit message style (e.g., Conventional Commits) or link any existing guidelines if available.


70-70: Grammar nitpick: add missing article.

CONTRIBUTING.md (3)

1-4: Clear introduction and title.
The title and opening paragraph set a welcoming tone and clearly state the purpose of the document. Nice concise framing for new contributors.


28-34: Architecture overview links are useful.
Linking to both in-repo docs and an external DeepWiki page is helpful. Please verify that the docs/README.md#high-level-overview anchor exists and points to the intended section.


82-82: Welcoming closing message.
The final sentence reinforces appreciation and leaves a positive impression. Well done!

README.md (2)

159-162: Verify CONTRIBUTING.md link resolution.
The relative path ./CONTRIBUTING.md should work on GitHub, but double-check that it correctly navigates users to the new guidelines. If there’s an issue, consider using /CONTRIBUTING.md.

167-170: Star History badge looks good.
The Star History section properly adds a badge and link to visualize the repo’s star count over time, enhancing community engagement.

159-165: Well-structured Contributing section and accessible contributors badge
The new “Contributing” section clearly directs users to CONTRIBUTING.md, and the contributors badge now has a meaningful alt attribute and proper spacing—great accessibility improvement!
