Pull request overview
Updates the Daily Reliability Review report template to use progressive disclosure so that high-level takeaways remain visible while supporting evidence is collapsible.
Changes:
- Added guidance to keep Executive Summary / Top Reliability Findings / Recommendations always visible while moving verbose content into
<details>/<summary>blocks. - Wrapped “Representative Traces” and “Notes” content in
<details>sections to reduce report verbosity by default.

Code Review Summary
Verdict: ✅ Approved
Analysis: This PR makes a clean, focused improvement to the daily reliability review workflow prompt. The changes implement progressive disclosure by wrapping verbose sections (Representative Traces and Notes) in collapsible HTML <details> blocks while keeping critical information (Executive Summary, Top Reliability Findings, Recommendations) immediately visible.
Strengths:
- Aligns perfectly with the repository's Report Structure Guidelines
- Addresses a real UX problem (report density reducing scanability)
- HTML syntax is correct and properly formatted
- Clear, actionable guidance for the AI agent executing the workflow
- Minimal, surgical change with no unintended side effects
Issues Found: None
No code quality, correctness, security, or maintainability concerns identified. The change is ready to merge.

Skills-Based Review 🧠
Applied /grill-with-docs based on this being a documentation/prompt improvement change.
Key Themes
- Clarity of instructions: The progressive disclosure guidance could be more explicit about which sections should never be collapsed vs. which should always be collapsed
- Conditional logic: The template shows
<details>blocks but doesn't guide when to use them based on content volume
Positive Highlights
- ✅ Clear problem statement — The PR body articulates the UX issue (dense output) and the solution (progressive disclosure) very well
- ✅ Concrete example — Including the markdown template in the PR description is excellent documentation practice
- ✅ Focused scope — The change targets exactly the problem described without scope creep
- ✅ Consistent application — Both
Representative TracesandNotesget the same collapse treatment
Verdict
This is a well-scoped UX improvement with clear intent. The two inline comments suggest minor clarity improvements to make the AI agent's instructions more precise. Since this is marked [WIP], these refinements can be addressed before final merge.
No blocking issues — the core change is sound. 🚀

[/grill-with-docs] The progressive disclosure guidance says to keep certain sections "always visible" and wrap "verbose evidence and supporting detail" in <details> blocks.
Consider being more explicit about which sections should never be collapsed to avoid ambiguity:
Use progressive disclosure. Keep `Executive Summary`, `Top Reliability Findings`, and `Recommendations` **always expanded** (never wrap these in `<details>` blocks). Put verbose evidence and supporting detail (`Representative Traces`, `Notes`) inside `<details><summary>...</summary>` blocks.This makes it clearer that the three named sections are exempt from collapsing, reducing the risk of the AI agent misinterpreting the instruction.

[/grill-with-docs] The <details> blocks are always applied in the template, but the guidance doesn't specify when they should be used.
Consider adding conditional guidance for when to collapse sections:
<details>
<summary>View representative traces</summary>
- Include one trace or issue link for each major problem class when available.
- Collapse this section if there are more than 3 traces to keep the issue body scannable.
</details>This helps the AI agent decide whether to use the collapse feature based on content volume, not just structure.

✅ PR Code Quality Reviewer completed the code quality review. No action needed: PR #33523 is already merged. The change is a simple workflow prompt update adding progressive disclosure guidance. Two existing review comments from github-actions bot already cover potential improvements (explicit never-collapse guidance and conditional collapse criteria). No additional code quality issues found in the 12-line diff. |

Skills-Based Review 🧠
Applied /grill-with-docs based on the documentation-only change improving a workflow prompt template.
Key Themes
- Domain language consistency: The change introduces "progressive disclosure" terminology where the existing codebase uses "collapsible sections" (per the
reportingskill). This UX pattern name is technically correct but creates a small vocabulary gap. - Summary label clarity: The summary labels could be more self-documenting by including scope hints (e.g., "one per problem class").
Positive Highlights
- ✅ Excellent problem identification: The PR description clearly articulates the problem ("issue body was too dense for quick triage") and the solution (progressive disclosure)
- ✅ Correct implementation: The
<details><summary>blocks are properly placed around verbose sections - ✅ Preserves critical content: Executive Summary, Top Reliability Findings, and Recommendations stay visible — exactly the right sections for quick triage
- ✅ Consistent formatting: The markdown structure follows existing patterns with proper spacing and nesting
Verdict
Approving with minor suggestions. The change delivers the intended value (improved scanability) and the vocabulary concerns are non-blocking — "progressive disclosure" is widely understood even if it's not the repo's existing term. Consider the inline suggestions to tighten alignment with the reporting skill guidance.

[/grill-with-docs] The phrase "progressive disclosure" is a UX pattern name, but the workflow prompt uses domain-specific terminology elsewhere ("reliability engineer", "observability telemetry", "trace continuity"). Consider whether this instruction would be clearer using the existing vocabulary:
Use collapsible sections to keep the report scannable. Keep `Executive Summary`, `Top Reliability Findings`, and `Recommendations` always visible. Put verbose evidence and supporting detail inside `<details><summary>...</summary>` blocks.This avoids introducing a new concept ("progressive disclosure") when the concrete instruction ("collapsible sections") is already clear and consistent with the reporting skill guidance.

| <details> | ||
| <summary>View representative traces</summary> |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
[/grill-with-docs] The summary text "View representative traces" is clear, but consider making it even more actionable by including a count hint when possible:
<summary>View representative traces (one per problem class)</summary>This reinforces the instruction within the collapsed section and helps the AI agent understand the expected scope without expanding the details block. Other daily workflows use this pattern (e.g., daily-observability-report.md has context hints in summary labels).
The Daily Reliability Review issue body was too dense for quick triage. This change updates the workflow prompt so high-signal content stays visible while verbose evidence is collapsed by default.
