Summary

Improved the organization of the template setup workflow by nesting related information under their respective steps, making it easier for agents to follow the complete workflow without missing context.

Changes Made

  • Better Information Grouping:
    • Nested Environment File Distinction under step 2 (Remove template content)
    • Nested Branch Protection Rules Summary and Manual Setup under step 4
  • Eliminated Duplicate Sections: Removed redundant standalone sections
  • Improved Contextual Flow: All related information is now available when performing each step
  • Reduced Cognitive Load: Agents no longer need to scroll around to find related information

Benefits

  • Contextual Information: Agent sees relevant details exactly when needed
  • Logical Flow: Each step contains everything needed to complete it
  • Cleaner Structure: No duplicate or orphaned sections
  • Better Usability: Agent can complete each step fully before moving to the next

Why This Matters

During testing, agents were missing steps because related information was scattered across multiple sections. This reorganization ensures agents have all the context and alternatives for each step right when they need it, improving workflow completion success rates.

The streamlined file now has a clear 5-step checklist with all supporting info nested appropriately, essential boundaries in the 'What NOT to Include' section, and no duplicate or orphaned sections.
