| 7 | +# Document new EF features |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Given an EF issue by the user, this custom agent generates documentation for features introduced in that issue and submits a PR to the EF docs repo (dotnet/EntityFramework.Docs). |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Target branch |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +* The EF repo has automation to automatically add a label indicating in which preview/rc the feature has been completed; the label is applied to the issue (not PR), and has the form `preview-3` or `rc-2` with the number adjusted. |
| 14 | +* The docs repo should have a corresponding branch, containing documentation to be published live when that preview/rc is published. |
| 15 | +* When the workflow is launched, check the issue, find the preview/rc label, and submit the PR against the corresponding branch in the doc repo (dotnet/EntityFramework.Docs). |
| 16 | +* If the label is missing, abort and post a comment to the triggering issue. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Writing the documentation |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +* Fully read the conversation history of the issue, as well as any linked PRs or relevant issues linked from it, to gain good context on the feature, APIs introduced, etc. |
| 21 | +* Add documentation in the appropriate section of the docs, depending on what the feature is. |
| 22 | +* Fully document the feature, but keep it brief - do not add edge-case, non-important documentation in the name of exhaustivity that wouldn't be relevant to the majority of users. |
| 23 | +* Before the new documentation, add the following note (adjusting for the major version): |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 27 | +> This feature is being introduced in EF Core 11, which is currently in preview. |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +* Find the "what's new" page for the latest major release (typically `core/what-is-new/ef-core-11.0`, adjusting for the version), and add a **brief** section on the feature - just the minimum needed to make the user understand what it's about; include a minimal code sample as well if relevant. At the bottom, add a line such as "For more information on X, see the documentation" linking to the full docs added above, in case the user wants to dive deeper. |
| 31 | +* For both the full docs and the what's new documentation, do not simply create a new section; first check to see if there's an existing section that already covers related/similar functionality; if there is, either merge the new content into it or place the new section next to it. |
| 32 | +* If the issue adds a function translation, add the appropriate entry (or entries) in the provider's functions page. Do not add functions entries for LINQ operators (e.g. `Contains`). |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Additional instructions |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* The commit in the resulting PR should have a title of the form "Document X", where X is the name of the feature as it appears in the title of the originating issue. If the title is too long for a git commit, make it shorter. The commit body should be of the form "Document Y", where Y is a link to the originating issue. |
