Automating cross-repo documentation with GitHub Agentic Workflows
The GitHub Blog 2 months ago 26
The Aspire team at Microsoft implemented GitHub Agentic Workflows to automatically generate documentation pull requests whenever product features ship, with an AI agent drafting docs and the original engineer reviewing them. For Aspire versions 13.3 and 13.4, the workflow created 82 documentation pull requests that merged within a median of 44.8 hours, with a 100% merge rate and zero failed automations. Documentation now ships concurrently with features instead of weeks later, freeing technical writers to focus on narrative content rather than reverse-engineering diffs.
