Walkthrough

The documentation was updated to consistently replace the term "path-based instructions" with "path instructions" or "file path instructions" across several files. These changes affect headings, descriptive text, and hyperlink labels, ensuring uniform terminology throughout the documentation. No code, logic, or public interfaces were modified.

Changes

File(s)	Change Summary
docs/changelog.md	Updated terminology from "path-based instructions" to "file path instructions" in a changelog entry.
docs/guides/initial-configuration.md, docs/overview/introduction.md	Replaced "path-based instructions" with "path instructions" in descriptive text and link labels.
docs/guides/review-instructions.md	Changed heading from "Path-based instructions" to "Path instructions".

Poem

A bunny with a doc in hand,
Hopped through the files across the land.
"Path-based" became "path"—so neat!
Consistency now is quite the treat.
With every hop, the docs align,
Clearer paths for all to find!

🧰 Additional context used

🔍 MCP Research (1 server)

Linear: The PR standardizes the term "path instructions" to describe per-file review directives in.coderabbit.yaml, aligning with existing usage and related issue SUP-367. Reviewers should confirm consistent terminology across docs and config references, ensuring clarity on how path instructions enforce code quality patterns like guard clauses and logging. Linking to known issues (SUP-346, PROD-242) in docs can aid user awareness of size limits and rendering constraints. No functional changes are introduced, so focus on accuracy and completeness of documentation.

docs/overview/introduction.md (1)
53-53:Optional: add hash fragment for direct jump
The new link omits a fragment, so readers land on the top of a very long page.
If you add the#path-instructions alias (or keep#path-based) you can deep-link:
-/guides/review-instructions+/guides/review-instructions#path-instructions
docs/changelog.md (1)
154-155:Terminology drift: “file path instructions” vs. “Path instructions”
Everywhere else the docs now use “Path instructions”. The adjective “file” here is new and could re-introduce inconsistency.
Consider:
-You can now provide file path instructions+You can now provide Path instructions

Learning: For files in docs/tools/*.md directory: Do not recommend installation instructions or usage setup steps. All tools documented in this directory are pre-installed in CodeRabbit's default environment and require no installation steps from users. Documentation should focus on tool capabilities and features only.

Learning: In the CodeRabbit documentation, image paths in markdown files should reference the/img/ directory, not/static/img/.

Learning: The word "CodeRabbit" should always have both C and R capitalized (not "coderabbit", "Coderabbit", or "CoderabbitAI"). The correct format is "CodeRabbit" and "CodeRabbitAI" for the service account. Proactively correct this capitalization in review comments when contributors mistype it.

docs/guides/review-instructions.md (1)
12-12:Anchor alias would avoid hard-coupling the new wording to the legacy slug
You changed the visible heading to “Path instructions” but kept the explicit slug{#path-based}.
That preserves all existing inbound links, but any future author is likely to assume the natural slug#path-instructions, create that link, and hit a 404.
Add a second, silent anchor so both IDs resolve:
-## Path instructions {#path-based}+<a></a>+## Path instructions {#path-based}
This keeps backward compatibility while preventing new dead links.
[tags: suggest_essential_refactor]
docs/guides/initial-configuration.md (2)
84-85:Link now feels out-of-sync with the section’s wording
The link text reads “Path instructions” but it still points to#path-based.
If you adopt the dual-anchor approach suggested inreview-instructions.md, nothing breaks.
Otherwise, update the fragment to match whatever canonical slug you settle on.
No action required if you add the alias; otherwise change:
-[Path instructions](/guides/review-instructions#path-based)+[Path instructions](/guides/review-instructions#path-instructions)
118-119:Consistency: confirm anchor choice before merging
Same anchor question as above (“Path instructions” text →#path-based slug).
Whichever slug you choose, make sure both occurrences in this file are updated together.
