Updating docs for Py Config #436
Conversation
WalkthroughDocumentation was updated to clarify that Pylint and Flake8 will only run if specific configuration files are present. The changelog and tool-specific documentation now describe the required config files and note that CodeRabbit will skip running these tools if the files are missing. Changes

Impact AnalysisPylint and Flake8 now require project-specific configuration files to run in CodeRabbitUsers must now provide a configuration file for Pylint (one of Test projects with and without the required configuration files for Pylint and Flake8. Verify that CodeRabbit only runs the tools when the appropriate config files are present and skips them otherwise.

23-27: Minor phrasing & grammar polish for clarityA single file is supported, so wording can be singular and the skip-behaviour sentence can be tightened up.
-Flake8 supports the following config files: - - `.flake8` -CodeRabbit will not run Flake8 if no config file is found. +Flake8 looks for configuration in the following file: + - `.flake8` + +If the file is absent, CodeRabbit will skip running Flake8.docs/tools/pylint.md (1)
23-31: Rephrase sentences for consistency & better flowSame nit as for Flake8: tighten wording and use “none of these files” instead of “no config file”.
-Pylint supports the following config files: +Pylint looks for configuration in any of the following files: [...] -CodeRabbit will not run Pylint if no config file is found. +If none of these files is present, CodeRabbit will skip running Pylint.docs/changelog.md (1)
12-18: Light copy-editing for smoother readingSmall tweaks to reduce repetition and fix a hyphenation nit.

10-11: Pluralize the section heading for clarityThe tools listed involve multiple configuration files; “Requirements” better reflects the plural nature.
-### Python Static Analysis Tools Configuration Requirement +### Python Static Analysis Tools Configuration Requirements
12-12: Tighten phrasing“run only with proper configuration files” can read awkwardly. Switching to “run only when proper configuration files are present” is more direct.
-We've updated Pylint and Flake8 to ensure they run only with proper configuration files: +We've updated Pylint and Flake8 to ensure they run only when proper configuration files are present:
14-18: Use consistent link style & remove duplicationLines 14-16 use absolute links while line 18 uses relative links. Stick to one convention (relative links are already used elsewhere in docs) and avoid repeating the “CodeRabbit will not run … if no config file is found.” sentence.
-- **[Pylint](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/tools/pylint)**: Now requires a configuration file (`.pylintrc`, `pylintrc`, `.pylintrc.toml`, or `pylintrc.toml`) to run. CodeRabbit will not run Pylint if no config file is found. -- -- **[Flake8](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/tools/flake8)**: Requires a `.flake8` configuration file to run. CodeRabbit will not run Flake8 if no config file is found. +- **[Pylint](/tools/pylint)** – runs only when a configuration file is present (`.pylintrc`, `pylintrc`, `.pylintrc.toml`, or `pylintrc.toml`). + +- **[Flake8](/tools/flake8)** – runs only when a `.flake8` configuration file is present.This keeps wording concise, eliminates redundancy, and standardises link formatting.
