Creates a dedicated quickstart guide for open source maintainers to share with projects like Helm and Bazel. The guide covers:

  • Connect GitHub (OSS) flow — How to install the read-only GitHub app specifically designed for open source repos
  • Doc collection setup — Instructions for configuring where documentation lives
  • Fork-based PR workflow — Explains how the promptless-for-oss service account creates documentation PRs from a Promptless-managed fork of the upstream repo

This is a fresh guide with accurate information about the OSS-specific workflow.

Agent Response

I've created a fresh suggestion for the Promptless for Open Source quickstart guide. Here's a summary:

New Suggestion Created: Promptless for Open Source quickstart guide

What's Included:

  1. New page: "Promptless for Open Source" — A dedicated guide you can share directly with open source projects like Helm and Bazel

  2. Key content covers:

    • Connect GitHub (OSS) flow — Step-by-step instructions for installing the read-only GitHub app via the "Connect GitHub (OSS)" button
    • Fork-based PR workflow — Clear explanation that the promptless-for-oss service account creates documentation PRs from a Promptless-managed fork
    • Doc collection setup — Instructions for configuring where documentation lives (with link to the full doc collections guide)
  3. Location: Added to the Getting Started section in the navigation, right after "Setup & Quickstart"

This is a clean starting point that accurately reflects the OSS workflow. Let me know if you'd like any changes—I can add screenshots of the OSS flow, adjust the content, or modify the structure based on your feedback!

1. Promptless maintains a fork of your documentation repository
2. When documentation updates are needed, the `promptless-for-oss` service account creates a PR from that fork to your upstream repository
3. You review and merge the PR just like any other community contribution
