+# **what?**
+# Open an issue in docs.getdbt.com when a PR is labeled `user docs`
+
+# **why?**
+# To reduce barriers for keeping docs up to date
+
+# **when?**
+# When a PR is labeled `user docs` and is merged.  Runs on pull_request_target to run off the workflow already merged,
+# not the workflow that existed on the PR branch.  This allows old PRs to get comments.
