doc-maintenance

To detect documentation drift, you compare current README.md, doc/SPEC.md, and doc/PRODUCT.md files against recent commits. This identifies discrepancies between shipped features and documented capabilities, surfacing areas where docs accuracy has degraded over time.

The best way to open pull requests for documentation updates is to automate branch creation and PR opening after proposing minimal, non-disruptive edits. This streamlines maintenance by preparing corrections in a review-ready branch without disrupting the main codebase.

You can run a periodic documentation audit by instructing the system to perform a docs accuracy pass. It compares top-level documentation against recent commits to identify drift, then pushes resulting pull requests with proposed corrections for review.

Yes, you can fix README and SPEC files without disruption by proposing minimal, non-disruptive edits on a separate branch. This approach aligns documentation content with current capabilities while keeping the main codebase stable until the pull request is reviewed and merged.

Documentation maintenance works effectively for post-release checks. After major feature merges, it audits top-level docs like README.md and doc/PRODUCT.md to identify drift between shipped features and documented capabilities, then proposes corrections via pull requests.

You should avoid automated documentation drift detection when edits would be disruptive rather than minimal. The approach proposes non-disruptive corrections only, so it may not suit projects requiring major documentation rewrites or structural overhauls rather than alignment edits.
