Extract text from README diagrams after updates

Documentation changes should not require a deep visual inspection every time. Notis can read relevant README diagrams and send the text to you.

Trigger

GitHub Repository README Changed

Triggers when the README file in a specific repository directory changes. Monitors the README in a configurable directory and branch/tag/commit. The payload includes the current README metadata (filename, path, SHA, size, URLs), the previous and current git blob SHAs, and a list of which tracked fields changed.

Action

ASTICA_READ_TEXT

Tool to perform ocr on an image to extract text. use when you need to read raw text from images after confirming the image source.

Why this helps

README diagrams can contain decisions and setup notes that are easy to miss during a fast documentation review.

  • Makes visual documentation searchable
  • Highlights text in updated diagrams
  • Supports calmer documentation reviews
