Investigation: _posts Directory Not Found - Task Clarification Needed

[Copilot]

Summary

This PR documents an investigation into the task requirement to "update markdown headers to title case in the _posts directory." The investigation revealed that the _posts directory does not exist in this repository and contains no markdown files to process.

Findings

Repository Structure:

• This is an Advent of Code solutions repository, not a blog or Jekyll-based site
• No _posts directory exists in the repository
• Found 235 markdown files in other locations:
  • Year-specific directories (e.g., 2022/01/README.md)
  • Root documentation (e.g., README.md, tricks.md)

Task Requirements:
The problem statement specifically requests: "Go through each Markdown file in the _posts directory and directly edit them in this branch"

However, since the _posts directory doesn't exist or is empty, there are no files to process according to the stated requirements.

Questions for Clarification

1. Should the _posts directory be created? If so, what content should be placed there?
2. Should the task apply to all markdown files? The repository contains 235 markdown files outside of _posts that could benefit from header standardization
3. Is this task intended for a different repository? The task description suggests a blog/Jekyll setup that doesn't match this repository's structure

Next Steps

Awaiting clarification on the intended scope:

• If the goal is to standardize headers across all markdown files in the repository, I can proceed with that approach
• If the goal is specifically for a _posts directory, that directory needs to be created and populated first
• If this task was meant for a different repository, please redirect accordingly

Example Headers Found

Current markdown files contain headers like:

# Advent of Code - 2022 Day 1
## Input Parsing
### Performance testing

Ready to apply title case rules once scope is confirmed.

Original prompt

Go through each Markdown file in the _posts directory and directly edit them in this branch:

1. For every Markdown header (lines starting with #, ##, ###, etc.), update the text to follow proper English title case:
   • Capitalize the first and last word.
   • Capitalize all major words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, subordinating conjunctions).
   • Leave minor words (articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions) lowercase, unless they are the first or last word.
2. Make sure there’s exactly one space after the # characters in headers.
3. Do not generate a script — apply the changes directly to the files in place and stage the edits as part of this PR.

Do not touch paragraphs, lists, code blocks, or any non-header content.
