My experience is to not use 'git add .'. In Linux, hidden files are not
listed by default.
Yes, I was being lazy to type the full pach/full file name, oops.

While hidden files are not listed by default on Linux, thankfully the
kernel source tree ignores .* via .gitignore. But 'git add .' is indeed
a bad habit.

Btw, git commit -v, or setting commit.verbose = true, can really save
one at the last minute. (as mentioned in our how-to doc) And sadly I
actually happened to use another computer to write patches last night,
which I hadn't configured it. XD

Actually these labor-tensive works should be done by LLM. This is one of the right directions of LLM usage.

You can write a simple skill to help you complete these works.

Btw I've been trying to know more about Sphinx and kernel-docs, hope my
mistake won't happen again.
That change can fix problem. The underlying problem is RST syntax. Maybe you
can have a look at this or query it in the LLM.
Absolutely. I did have relatively little experience writing rst before.
But that's definitely no excuse - I'll try to pick it up quickly.
LLM is really useful to capture some syntax and semantics issues. Therefore,
before submitting patch, use LLM to scan problem in this issue.
Got it, thanks.

I am writing a draft skill for reviewing patches of kernel Chinese
documentation.
Nice! I've been trying "b4 review tui" these days and I also made some
modifications to its pre-configured prompt to fit our specific
workflows:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git/tree/misc/agent-reviewer.md

b4 review tui 'agents' - AI-assisted review:

https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/reviewer/getting-started.html#ai-assisted-review

Sometimes my agent makes false alarms, but at other times it does manage
to identify the issues that we have overlooked. This is probably also
one of the reasons why the community is gradually becoming more
accepting of LLMs.

Ah, this is interesting.

My skill is to use LLM to search the patch name, use b4 to apply patches and finally ask LLM to refer to how-to.rst and review the patch or patchset.

And I think we could try to add our subsystem to sashiko. What we need to do is to write some subsystem-related prompts.

Thanks!
