💡 Template Examples

​
Minimal (Getting Started)

language: "en-US"
reviews:
  profile: "chill"
  high_level_summary: true
  auto_review:
    enabled: true
    drafts: false

​

​
🎨 Design Consistency

Following the same clear approach as the configuration reference:
  • Property names visible: Clear YAML keys
  • Types obvious: Proper YAML types shown
  • Examples first: Practical templates before reference
  • Mintlify components: CodeGroup, Tabs, Cards, Steps
  • No parsing errors: Clean MDX that Mintlify loves

​
🚀 Benefits

  1. Faster Onboarding: Users can copy-paste and start immediately
  2. Best Practices: Templates include recommended settings
  3. Scalable: Options for different team sizes and needs
  4. Maintainable: Auto-generated from schema, always up-to-date
  5. User-Friendly: Clear explanations and usage instructions

​
✨ Result

Users now have a complete, practical guide for creating .coderabbit.yaml files with:
  • Ready-to-use templates for different scenarios
