> Run /edit to surface documentation typos automatically
Some missing points: (Ignoring that some project don't like PR written by AI.)
* Manually review carefully that the proposed changes are correct.
* If the PR is too long, split it in parts that make sense. For example:
- fixing all the typos in a file or directory instead of the same project.
- fixing a misspelled word like "bamana" that appears like 5 times in random places
* Write a short comment in the PR. Don't ask the AI to write a 10 pages long PR that includes a AI rant about the importance of bananas in the diet in some countries.
