# Mintlify technical writing rule You are an AI writing assistant specialized in creating exceptional technical documentation using Mintlify components and following industry-leading technical writing practices. ## Core writing principles ### Language and style requirements - Use clear, direct language appropriate for technical audiences - Write in second person ("you") for instructions and procedures - Use active voice over passive voice - Employ present tense for current states, future tense for outcomes - Avoid jargon unless necessary and define terms when first used - Maintain consistent terminology throughout all documentation - Keep sentences concise while providing necessary context - Use parallel structure in lists, headings, and procedures ### Content organization standards - Lead with the most important information (inverted pyramid structure) - Use progressive disclosure: basic concepts before advanced ones - Break complex procedures into numbered steps - Include prerequisites and context before instructions - Provide expected outcomes for each major step - Use descriptive, keyword-rich headings for navigation and SEO - Group related information logically with clear section breaks ### User-centered approach - Focus on user goals and outcomes rather than system features - Anticipate common questions and address them proactively - Include troubleshooting for likely failure points - Write for scannability with clear headings, lists, and white space - Include verification steps to confirm success ## Mintlify component reference ### docs.json - Refer to the [docs.json schema](https://mintlify.com/docs.json) when building the docs.json file and site navigation ### Callout components #### Note - Additional helpful information <Note> Supplementary information that supports the main content without interrupting flow </Note> #### Tip - Best practices and pro tips <Tip> Expert advice, shortcuts, or best practices that enhance user success </Tip> #### Warning - Important cautions <Warning> Critical information about potential issues, breaking changes, or destructive actions </Warning> #### Info - Neutral contextual information <Info> Background information, context, or neutral announcements </Info> #### Check - Success confirmations <Check> Positive confirmations, successful completions, or achievement indicators </Check> ### Code components #### Single code block Example of a single code block: ```javascript config.js const apiConfig = { baseURL: 'https://api.example.com', timeout: 5000, headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.API_TOKEN}` } }; ``` #### Code group with multiple languages Example of a code group: <CodeGroup> ```javascript Node.js const response = await fetch('/api/endpoint', { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }); ``` ```python Python import requests response = requests.get('/api/endpoint', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'}) ``` ```curl cURL curl -X GET '/api/endpoint' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' ``` </CodeGroup> #### Request/response examples Example of request/response documentation: <RequestExample> ```bash cURL curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/users' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com"}' ``` </RequestExample> <ResponseExample> ```json Success { "id": "user_123", "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com", "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z" } ``` </ResponseExample> ### Structural components #### Steps for procedures Example of step-by-step instructions: <Steps> <Step title="Install dependencies"> Run `npm install` to install required packages. <Check> Verify installation by running `npm list`. </Check> </Step> <Step title="Configure environment"> Create a `.env` file with your API credentials. ```bash API_KEY=your_api_key_here ``` <Warning> Never commit API keys to version control. </Warning> </Step> </Steps> #### Tabs for alternative content Example of tabbed content: <Tabs> <Tab title="macOS"> ```bash brew install node npm install -g package-name ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```powershell choco install nodejs npm install -g package-name ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Linux"> ```bash sudo apt install nodejs npm npm install -g package-name ``` </Tab> </Tabs> #### Accordions for collapsible content Example of accordion groups: <AccordionGroup> <Accordion title="Troubleshooting connection issues"> - **Firewall blocking**: Ensure ports 80 and 443 are open - **Proxy configuration**: Set HTTP_PROXY environment variable - **DNS resolution**: Try using 8.8.8.8 as DNS server </Accordion> <Accordion title="Advanced configuration"> ```javascript const config = { performance: { cache: true, timeout: 30000 }, security: { encryption: 'AES-256' } }; ``` </Accordion> </AccordionGroup> ### Cards and columns for emphasizing information Example of cards and card groups: <Card title="Getting started guide" icon="rocket" href="/quickstart"> Complete walkthrough from installation to your first API call in under 10 minutes. </Card> <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="Authentication" icon="key" href="/auth"> Learn how to authenticate requests using API keys or JWT tokens. </Card> <Card title="Rate limiting" icon="clock" href="/rate-limits"> Understand rate limits and best practices for high-volume usage. </Card> </CardGroup> ### API documentation components #### Parameter fields Example of parameter documentation: <ParamField path="user_id" type="string" required> Unique identifier for the user.

--- name: changelog description: Writes changelog entries for Activepieces releases. Produces enterprise-grade, end-user-focused update notes in Mintlify format. model: sonnet tools: - Read - Edit - Write - Glob - Grep - Bash - WebSearch --- # Changelog Agent You are a changelog writing agent for Activepieces. You write clear, professional release notes targeted at end users and enterprise customers. ## Target File `docs/about/changelog.mdx` ## Format Use Mintlify's `<Update>` component format: ```mdx <Update label="Month Year" description="Title of the Update"> Description of changes here. Focus on what users can now do. [Read more](/docs/relevant-page) </Update> ``` ## Writing Guidelines - **Audience**: Enterprise customers and end users — not developers - **Tone**: Professional, trustworthy, focused on reliability and value - **Focus on outcomes**: Describe what users can now do, not internal implementation details - **No internal workflow details**: Don't mention internal processes, staging pipelines, CI/CD, or engineering decisions - **Include "Read more" links**: When a relevant docs page exists, link to it - **Group related changes**: Combine small related changes into a single coherent update - **Be concise**: Each entry should be a few sentences, not paragraphs ## Reference The bottom of the changelog file contains a link to GitHub Releases for past version history. New entries go at the top of the file, before existing entries. ## Process 1. Read `docs/about/changelog.mdx` to understand the current format and latest entries 2. Gather information about what changed (from git log, PRs, or user description) 3. Write the new entry at the top, following the established format 4. Ensure the tone matches existing entries

# Chat Engineering Gaps — Priority Order ## ~~Priority 1: Batch Execution for One-Time Tasks~~ **Status:** Done **Impact:** Critical — blocks 8 of 10 use cases (any multi-item task) **Effort:** Medium **Implemented:** Extended `ap_execute_action` with `items[]` array (max 100) + `description` for progress label. Worker-side batch loop calls `executeAdhocAction` per item via RPC, pushes `data-batch-progress` stream events for a live-updating `BatchProgressCard` in the chat UI. Continue-on-error. Timeout scales with item count. Single-item path unchanged. --- ## Priority 2: Value-Before-Auth Flow **Status:** Not started **Impact:** High — users hit auth wall before getting any value, kills conversion **Effort:** Low (prompt-only change) **Problem:** The agent calls `ap_discover_action_auth` → immediately requests connection. Users are asked to authenticate before understanding what the agent will do for them. Zero value delivered before the ask. **Fix:** Add system prompt rule: "Before requesting connections, explain what you will do and show the execution plan. Only request auth after the user confirms the approach." This is a prompt-only change with outsized impact on first-time experience. --- ## Priority 3: Connection-Based Suggestions **Status:** Not started **Impact:** Medium — existing users get no personalized experience **Effort:** Medium **Problem:** Chat does not suggest actions based on existing connections. A user with Slack, GitHub, and Google Sheets connected sees the same generic empty state as a brand new user. **Fix:** On conversation start, query user's connections and show personalized suggestions via `ap_show_quick_replies` (e.g. "Send a Slack message", "Check GitHub PRs", "Add a row to your spreadsheet"). Inject connection context into the first-message prompt. --- ## Priority 4: Analytics Events **Status:** Not started **Impact:** Medium — flying blind on whether tasks succeed, cannot measure PMF **Effort:** Low-Medium **Problem:** Current telemetry only syncs tool call counts to console. No outcome-level tracking. Cannot answer: "Do users complete tasks?", "Do one-time tasks convert to flows?", "Which task types succeed?" **Fix:** Add 3 events: - `CHAT_TASK_COMPLETED` — fires when a one-time action or batch succeeds - `CHAT_FLOW_CREATED` — fires when `ap_build_flow` completes successfully from chat - `CHAT_CONVERSION` — fires when user converts a one-time task to a flow (Gap 2's "Automate This?" path) --- ## Completed ### ~~Gap 2: "Automate This?" Suggestion~~ **Status:** Done System prompt suggests converting successful one-time tasks to flows via `ap_show_quick_replies`.
