Summary

Fixes incorrect documentation claims about "automatic" triggers and clarifies that the editorial review system is on-demand only.

Changes

.claude/README.md

  • ❌ Removed incorrect claim: "Automatic: PR creation or reopen"
  • ✅ Clarified: "Triggers (on-demand only)"
  • ✅ Added explicit "NOT triggered by" section
  • ✅ Separated local vs PR workflow steps for clarity

CLAUDE.md

  • ✅ Added prominent callout explaining on-demand nature
  • ✅ Fixed heading case: "Local Review" → "Local review"

.github/scripts/README.md

  • ✅ Fixed headings to sentence case: "Input Format" → "Input format", "How It Works" → "How it works"

Why this matters

Previously, the documentation incorrectly stated that agents "automatically review changes" when PRs are opened. This caused confusion about:

  • When agents actually run
  • Token usage/costs
  • Why reviews don't appear automatically

The updated documentation makes it crystal clear:

  • ✅ Reviews are on-demand only
  • ✅ Triggered by /editorial-review command (local or PR comment)
  • ✅ NOT triggered by PR creation, updates, or commits

Pull request overview

Updates repository documentation to accurately describe the editorial review system as explicitly triggered (on-demand) rather than automatic, and aligns headings to sentence case for consistency.

Changes:

  • Clarifies that /editorial-review runs only when explicitly invoked (local command, PR comment, or manual workflow dispatch) and is not triggered by PR events/commits.
  • Improves contributor guidance by separating local pre-PR steps from PR-based review steps.
  • Normalizes heading capitalization in documentation READMEs.
