📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation for CodeRabbit's knowledge base was refined to clarify how code guideline files define team coding standards and influence reviews. The configuration reference added a new "Code guidelines" section enabling users to toggle guideline enforcement and specify file patterns, with defaults for common AI assistant guideline files.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Knowledge Base Documentation docs/integrations/knowledge-base.md	Revised the "Code Guidelines" section heading and description to clarify usage, removed explicit default file lists and images, and added references to configuration options.
Configuration Reference Update docs/reference/configuration.md	Added a new "Code guidelines" section under "Knowledge Base" settings detailing enable/disable toggle and customizable file pattern settings with default paths for guideline files.

Poem

In the docs, a fresh breeze blows,
Guideline wisdom now clearly shows.
Patterns and toggles, all in a row,
For teams to shape how their code should flow.
With every review, the standards grow—
CodeRabbit’s guidance, ready to go! 🐇✨
