Plan

Observations

We need to add a new MDX page under docs/guides, wire it into the sidebar, and fill it with structured content using existing components and styling conventions.

Approach

Create a new file docs/guides/setup-configuration-best-practices.md, add front-matter, import SchemaViewer and YamlEditor, draft sections with headings and code blocks, then update sidebars.ts to include the new doc under “Configure CodeRabbit”

Reasoning

Based on clarified assumptions about file placement, front-matter requirements, component usage, sidebar configuration, schema location, CLI commands, remote config patterns, and styling conventions from our internal research.

Proposed File Changes

📄 docs/guides/setup-configuration-best-practices.md ^(NEW) 🔗

References

📄 docs/getting-started/configure-coderabbit.md

📄 static/schema/schema.v2.json
Add front-matter at top:
---
title: Setup & Configuration Best Practices
description: Recommended patterns and tips for installing CodeRabbit and authoring your .coderabbit.yaml configuration file
sidebar_label: Setup & Config Best Practices
---
Import interactive components:
import SchemaViewer from 'src/components/SchemaViewer';
import YamlEditor from 'src/components/YamlEditor/YamlEditor';
Draft the following sections with headings and placeholder text:

Introduction
• Purpose and target audience

Prerequisites & Environment
• Supported platforms, CLI tools, permissions

Configuration File Placement & Precedence
• Root file vs UI settings, precedence rules

YAML Schema & Validation
• Embed <SchemaViewer/> to show schema definitions
• Use fenced code blocks with sample YAML

Core Best Practices
• Keep overrides minimal, group related settings

Shared Configuration Patterns
• Document remote_config.url pattern with a YAML snippet

Security & Access Control
• Note admonition: secrets, TLS/HTTPS

Testing & Validation Workflow
• Reference CLI commands (@coderabbitai configuration, @coderabbitai review) in fenced bash blocks

Maintenance & Versioning
• Version control, PR diff, rollback strategies

Troubleshooting
• Common errors and resolutions

References & Examples
• Link to getting-started/configure-coderabbit, awesome-coderabbit repo

📄 sidebars.ts ^(MODIFY) 🔗

Locate the “Configure CodeRabbit” category array inside docsSidebar. After 'getting-started/configure-coderabbit', insert 'guides/setup-configuration-best-practices' so the sequence reads:
items: [
  'getting-started/configure-coderabbit',
  'guides/setup-configuration-best-practices',
  'integrations/knowledge-base',
  // ... other items
]
Preserve relative path syntax without file extensions.

Developer Humor

A new guide emerges from the docs abyss,
With YAML samples and schema bliss.
Sidebar updated, components in place,
Docs writers now sprint at a furious pace.
CodeRabbit’s setup never looked so ace! 🐇🎉
