Description

The OpenAPI documentation link provided in the README.md file is currently broken or inaccessible. When users click the link, they are either redirected to a missing page or encounter an error.

This impacts contributors and users who rely on the documentation to understand and interact with the API.


What I Did

  • Verified that the OpenAPI documentation link in README.md was not working.
  • Confirmed that there is no publicly available or accessible OpenAPI documentation URL.
  • Removed the invalid OpenAPI link from the README.md file to prevent user confusion.

Proposed Fix / Next Steps

  • Host or generate the OpenAPI documentation on a public endpoint (e.g., Swagger UI, ReDoc, or GitHub Pages).
  • Once available, update the README.md file with the correct and verified documentation link.
  • Optionally, include instructions for generating or accessing the OpenAPI documentation locally (for example, via npm run openapi).

Impact

  • Users and contributors currently cannot access the API documentation from the README.md.
  • May cause onboarding friction for new developers or users exploring the project.

### Description
I propose adding a new **“Best Practices”** section to the `awesome-coderabbit` repository.  
This section would provide valuable guidance for users on how to get the most out of **CodeRabbit’s AI code review capabilities** by consolidating proven strategies and configuration examples in one place.

### Proposed Content

#### 🧩 Configuration Best Practices
- Tips for optimizing the `.coderabbit.yaml` configuration file  
- Examples of effective `tone_instructions` for different team contexts  
- Strategies for using `path_instructions` effectively to target specific code areas  

#### 🔄 Review Workflow Best Practices
- Guidelines for integrating CodeRabbit into existing code review processes  
- Tips for interpreting and acting on AI-generated feedback  
- Best practices for fostering team collaboration with AI-assisted reviews  

#### 💻 Language-Specific Best Practices
- Recommendations for **JavaScript/TypeScript** projects  
- Recommendations for **Python** projects  
- Guidance for other popular languages commonly supported by CodeRabbit  

#### ⚙️ Performance Optimization
- Tips for reducing review time without sacrificing quality  
- Strategies for focusing reviews on critical code areas  
- Guidelines for balancing review **thoroughness** and **speed**

### Implementation
The new **“Best Practices”** section should be added:
- **After:** the “Configuration Examples” section  
- **Before:** the “Integration Guides” section in `README.md`

---

### Benefits
- 🧭 **Helps new users** quickly adopt CodeRabbit with practical guidance  
- 🚀 **Improves productivity** through clear optimization strategies  
- 📚 **Centralizes knowledge** currently scattered across blogs and documentation  
- 💎 **Enhances repository value** as a comprehensive learning and reference resource
