SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Documentation often drifts from code after changes, causing stale references and misleading guidance that slows onboarding and maintenance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gap detection: compare codebase changes with published docs and flag mismatches.
  • Update suggestions: generate targeted edits to align docs with implementation.
  • Release readiness: verify docs reflect current behavior before merges.

Quick Start

Run an automated doc-audit to align docs with the latest code changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect stale documentation and gaps between code and docs?

Documentation gap analysis works by comparing codebase changes against published docs in the docs/ directory, flagging mismatches between current behavior and existing README.md, inline docs, and API references to identify stale content.

What is the best way to keep documentation in sync with code changes after a merge?

Keeping documentation in sync involves running a post-change audit to compare implementation updates with existing docs. This generates targeted edit suggestions to align your README.md and API references with the latest code behavior before release.

Can I use automated documentation maintenance for release readiness checks?

Automated documentation maintenance supports release readiness by verifying that docs reflect current behavior before merges. It compares code changes against API references and inline docs to confirm published guidance is accurate.

Does documentation gap analysis work with inline docs and API references?

Yes, documentation gap analysis works with inline docs and API references by comparing them directly against current code behavior. It requires access to your repository's documentation files in the docs/ directory to flag mismatches accurately.

How do I generate targeted edits to align README.md with implementation updates?

To align README.md with implementation updates, an automated doc-audit compares the file against current code changes and generates targeted edit suggestions. This ensures your README accurately reflects the latest behavioral updates.

What are the limitations of AI-assisted documentation maintenance?

AI-assisted documentation maintenance requires access to the repository's docs/ directory and code changes to function. It is limited to comparing existing README.md, inline docs, and API references against current behavior, and cannot generate entirely new documentation from scratch.
