docs-compliance-codebase

To audit Markdown documentation against a codebase, define your scope, run the scan_codebase and lint_markdown scripts, then apply manual rubric checks to validate API and configuration accuracy.

Documentation compliance checks fail on terminology consistency when Markdown guides contain outdated API routes or naming that no longer match the actual repository state, requiring a lint_markdown scan to identify structural faults.

The best way to align API guides with backend routes is to execute an automated codebase scan mapping, lint the Markdown for missing links, and compare claims against compliance rules.

Yes, you can use markdown linting to find missing links and structural faults by running the lint_markdown script, which identifies formatting issues before you proceed to compliance validation.

Yes, you need to manually check compliance rules after running an automated codebase scan because the scripts identify structural faults, while manual rubric checks validate terminology and platform specifics accuracy.

You need to run a documentation audit for platform specifics and configurations right before releases to ensure public guides and integration notes faithfully describe current backend flags, routes, and dependencies.
