    Confidence changes required: 80% <= threshold 85%
    None
4. docs/learning/validation/retry_mechanisms.md:120
  • Draft comment:
    Consider adding a note on potential token consumption and performance impact when max_retries is set, so users are aware that each retry uses additional tokens and time.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Confidence changes required: 70% <= threshold 85%
    None
5. mkdocs.yml:244
  • Draft comment:
    Duplicate integration entries detected (e.g. AWS Bedrock, Fireworks, Gemini). Consider deduplicating these to avoid navigation clutter and ensure consistency.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was not on a location in the diff, so it can't be submitted as a review comment.
6. docs/learning/patterns/optional_fields.md:117
  • Draft comment:
    It might be beneficial to add a brief explanation of the 'Maybe' type usage (e.g., its properties like .is_uncertain) to help users understand when and how to use it.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Confidence changes required: 60% <= threshold 85%
    None
7. docs/learning/validation/field_level_validation.md:89
  • Draft comment:
    Consider adding a comment that clarifies model-level validators (with mode='after') run after individual field validators. This can help explain the validation order to users.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Confidence changes required: 60% <= threshold 85%
    None
8. docs/learning/getting_started/installation.md:134
  • Draft comment:
    The file is missing a newline at the end. It's a minor style issue, but adding a trailing newline improves consistency and avoids warnings in some editors.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment did not seem useful. Confidence is useful = 80% <= threshold 85%
    The comment is about a minor style issue regarding a missing newline at the end of a file. While this is a style issue, it does not violate any of the rules provided. It is not purely informative as it suggests an improvement for consistency and to avoid warnings in editors. Therefore, it is a valid comment.
9. docs/learning/patterns/list_extraction.md:300
  • Draft comment:
    The file is missing a trailing newline at the end. While this is a minor formatting detail, many linters expect a newline at the end of files. Please add a newline at the end of the file.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment did not seem useful. Confidence is useful = 30% <= threshold 85%
    The comment is about adding a trailing newline at the end of a file. This is a common practice to ensure compatibility with various tools and systems that expect files to end with a newline. However, it doesn't fall under the specific rules provided, and it's not a critical issue. It doesn't violate any rules, but it's not particularly useful either.
10. docs/learning/patterns/simple_object.md:133
  • Draft comment:
    It looks like there's no newline at the end of the file. Please add a newline at the end to meet common formatting standards.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment did not seem useful. Confidence is useful = 80% <= threshold 85%
    The comment is about adding a newline at the end of the file, which is a common formatting standard. However, it doesn't violate any of the rules provided. It's a specific suggestion to improve code formatting, which is generally considered good practice.
11. docs/learning/patterns/simple_object.md:38
  • Draft comment:
    The ASCII diagram in the example (particularly around the 'occupation: str' label) appears misaligned, which may lead to readability issues. Please review and adjust the spacing so that the columns align consistently.
  • 8000
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 10% vs. threshold = 85%
    The rules state "Do NOT comment on pure frontend UI or styling changes". While this is documentation rather than UI, it's still primarily a visual/formatting issue. The diagram is still perfectly readable and conveys its meaning despite the minor misalignment. The comment doesn't point out any functional issues or suggest important code improvements.
    The diagram's misalignment could potentially confuse readers about the structure being represented. Documentation readability is important for developer experience.
    While documentation quality matters, this is an extremely minor formatting issue that doesn't impact the understanding of the concept being taught. The meaning is still clear despite the small visual imperfection.
    This comment should be deleted as it addresses a minor visual formatting issue that doesn't impact the functionality or understanding of the documentation.
12. docs/learning/validation/custom_validators.md:75
  • Draft comment:
    It looks like the link text 'Validators' might contain a typo ('reask'). Please double-check if it should be updated to the correct path or term.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 80% vs. threshold = 85%
    Since this is a new documentation file, having correct links is important for user navigation. The fact that the correct path "/concepts/validation.md" exists elsewhere in the document (line 157) strongly suggests that "reask_validation.md" is indeed incorrect. The suggestion appears to be accurate and actionable.
    I could be wrong about whether reask_validation.md is actually a valid path - I don't have access to the full repository structure. There could be both files.
    While true, the presence of the simpler "validation.md" path elsewhere in the same document, and the fact that "reask" seems out of place, makes this a reasonable correction to suggest.
    Keep the comment as it identifies a likely documentation issue that would affect user experience, and provides a clear fix.
13. mkdocs.yml:288
  • Draft comment:
    Typo detected: The file 'prompting/zero_shot/simtom.md' likely contains a typographical error ('simtom') and should be corrected to the intended filename (e.g., 'simulate.md' or the correct version).
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was not on a location in the diff, so it can't be submitted as a review comment.
14. mkdocs.yml:211
  • Draft comment:
    Minor formatting issue: The 'Multimodal' entry has an extra space before the colon ('Multimodal :'). For consistency, please remove the extra space so it matches the other entries.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was not on a location in the diff, so it can't be submitted as a review comment.
15. mkdocs.yml:338
  • Draft comment:
    Typographical issue: The entry 'Recurs.-of-Thought' appears to include an unintended period. Please verify if this is the correct label or if it should be corrected (perhaps to 'Recursive-of-Thought' or a similar term).
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was on unchanged code.

1. mkdocs.yml:160
  • Draft comment:
    The new 'Integrations' nav section lists many entries more than once (e.g., AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Fireworks, Gemini, OpenAI, Vertex AI). Consider deduplicating these items to adhere to DRY principles and prevent confusing navigation.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment looked like it was already resolved.
2. mkdocs.yml:163
  • Draft comment:
    The new 'Integrations' section contains duplicate entries (e.g. AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Gemini, Fireworks, Together, Vertex AI) appearing in multiple categories. Consider consolidating these duplicates to adhere to DRY principles.

3. mkdocs.yml:165
  • Draft comment:
    Inline comments (e.g. '# Major cloud providers') are used for grouping but won’t be visible in the rendered docs. Consider restructuring using nested lists to clearly display subcategories.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Confidence changes required: 80% <= threshold 85%
    None
4. mkdocs.yml:288
  • Draft comment:
    It appears that 'simtom.md' (referenced as 'Simulate A Perspective') might be a typographical error. Perhaps this should be renamed to something like 'simulate.md' to maintain consistency.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was not on a location in the diff, so it can't be submitted as a review comment.
5. mkdocs.yml:250
  • Draft comment:
    The navigation entry 'Multimodal : 'concepts/multimodal.md'' has an unnecessary space before the colon. Consider removing the extra space to match standard formatting conventions.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment was not on a location in the diff, so it can't be submitted as a review comment.
6. mkdocs.yml:338
  • Draft comment:
    The entry '- Recurs.-of-Thought: 'prompting/decomposition/recurs_of_thought.md'' contains what appears to be a typographical error with the period after 'Recurs'. You may want to revise it (e.g., to 'Recursion-of-Thought' or 'Recursive-of-Thought') for clarity and consistency.
